Hi, rear wash wipe on my 94 80 Avant stopped working. NO wash or wipe, fault was inttermitant at first then stopped altogether, anyone have any idea where the relay is so I can check it cant find any blown fuse in fusebox. Thanks

Not sure about the relay.
However, probably worth checking for broken wires as the cables enter the tailgate. The saloon cars often have problems with broken wires in their boot, I would expect that the estate cars have similar issues.

Hope that this helps,
Bob

I've managed to get them working again, Squirted WD40 in to the switch and wiggled it about must have cleaned the contacts inside. Dont use to much though as a lot of current must go through it, I gave mine a second squirt for good measure and it started to SMOKE!!! scared the hell out of me:biglaugh: , alright now since it dried out. Just got to sort my heater now.

Did you squirt the wiper switch? or other?

[Scotty Dave]

Squirted it into the switch, guess it gets dirty contacts.
