Thank you for the advice. I have carried out the procedure as suggested and it has cured the fault and the wipers now work a treat. It was a bit worrying as they seemed to take on a life of their own and could only be coaxed back into life by turning the engine off and on again, not always possible when blasting up the motorway!! Thanks again.

Hello All,

Having a problem with my wipers (Wiperblades "just stop" during operation, and work again after 3 minutes). Meanwhile the 3 minutes, turn ignition off on and on again , or any other positions dont make them work. I need to wait 3 minutes, or stop and restart the engine.

Before cleaning grease, based on the following posts :

I want first to change the relay (ref 61316919113) concerning the wipersblades , to my opinion, it sounds it is an electrical problem.
Why? Because I have noticed :
- intermittent mode does not work at all, in first position up, I only get automatic wiperblades mode.
- In single wipe, I get more than one run, maybe 10
- when wiperblades are stopped, it is not possible to get water, The windshield washer does not work neither


So, I have opened the glove box, and I have access to all the fuses BUT how can I access the relays which should be behind, right?

Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

this is the exact problem i have, the wipers start, but there is no stop signal and so they wuto turn off to prevent burn out... the 3 minutes is an auto cut off thing.

did you find out what was wrong? GM5?
