Subject:      99 Intermittent wiper function failure cause.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.


A lister on thesamba prompted me to look into an issue with my
intermittent wiper function.


On my '81, I installed a 99 relay into the stock wiper relay position.
It worked fine but recently became intermittent.


Relay was properly mounted in the OEM fuse block. I'm about 100%
certain that cracked solder joints is the issue. Wiggling the "I" pin,
I see movement at the solder joint.

I'm posting as these relays may be getting harder to find and AFAIK,
the one from van-cafe isn't the same type. I'm hoping that reheating
these joints will save the relay. Or will we start seeing 99 relays on
eBay for $100 ?    EG.   ;)


Neil.
