What is the Intermittent Wiper Relay all about?

In the distant past, windshield wiper operation had only 2 functions: on and off. Over time, car manufacturers introduced low, medium and high speeds, and eventually added intermittent wiper functionality. These series of developments provided drivers with a wider range of speeds for varying levels of precipitation.

This functionality relies on a component called a relay – the same technology that powers your fuel pump and keeps your car’s computer running. The relay uses electrical resistance relative to the position set on the wiper control arm to determine the specific speed at which the wipers move.

Because the intermittent wiper relay is electronic, it will inevitably fail and require replacement.

Keep in mind:

  • Intermittent wiper relay inspection is not part of most maintenance services.
  • Without the relay, your wipers will still work, but they will not offer variable speeds.

How it's done:

  • The intermittent wiper relay is verified it needs replacement
  • The defective intermittent wiper relay is removed
  • The new intermittent wiper relay is installed
  • The intermittent wiper relay is energized to turn it on
  • The wipers are tested to work properly in all control positions

Our recommendation:

Intermittent wiper operation isn’t required to drive your vehicle, and as long as your windshield wipers work, you’re legally permitted to drive while raining. However, lack of such an option can be a major inconvenience. If your wipers no longer work on the intermittent setting, a failed relay is likely the cause. Have it inspected by one of our expert mechanics and replaced if necessary.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Intermittent Wiper Relay?

  • Intermittent speed setting does not always work
  • Intermittent setting does not work at all

How important is this service?

Working wipers are required for safety on the road, but intermittent functionality is a convenience feature. However, it can be frustrating to constantly turn the wipers on and off to meet different rates of precipitation. Have the intermittent wiper relay replaced when it’s practical to do so.

Volkswagen Jetta L4-2.0L - Serpentine/Drive Belt - Plano, Texas
The work I requested was performed fine. I am only giving a lesser rating because he texted me and told me he would arrive in 30 mins but really was about 1-1.5 hours late. And because I know my 50 point inspection was not done because things he listed as good are not good at all! Example: I have 2 dash warning lights on, a burnt out headlight, about 3 months away from needing new tires, need alignment. So when he says all of that was in good shape on my vehicle report I am inclined to believe that none of it was actually checked. And I was counting on that 50 point inspection to tell me what other work I needed done because I drive this car up to 500 miles a week!! I realize it was an afternoon appointment and he probably was ready to go home and I get it but I was told I would receive certain services included in my price then I want to get those services!!! The 50 point inspection was one of the reasons I chose to go with yourmechanic rather than an independent mechanic that would have been cheaper.
