Title: Scorpio Estate (Ultima) - Rear wiper relay locatio
Post by Jackattack2002 on Apr 7^th, 2025, 8:46am

My rear wiper has decided to develop a mind of it's own and doesn't complete a full sweep of the back window anymore. It stops mid-way through or anywhere it feels like. It works fine on the wash cycle, so I am ruling out the motor. While it may be the control switch on the steering column, I suspect it's the relay. Does anybody know where the rear wiper-relay is and what it looks like?

Hi it's R1 in the central fuse box (drivers side) front relay (nearest the wing) working from the front of the car.
Not sure colour etc check handbook, luckily easy to get at.

Regards

According to the Auxiliary relay info in the electrical section there is also R33 for the intermittent wipe.
It is supposedly Orange and adjacent to the steering column but I have not checked this.

The intermittency settings on my front wipers works fine and I have ruled out the central box relay. Will explore the steering column then. Thanks
