I know this is an old Post but I just wanted to than Pete_Ex-Wino for the post regarding the Relay. My Brothers Fabia Mk1 Front Wiper motor stopped whilst working on the intermittent setting. I wasn't getting 12v at the motor even though I was getting around 9Volts. I checked the fuses an they were both fine So I tried a new motor and this didn't work either. which was half a good thing because I then tested the original motor (Should have done this at the start) and there was life. I tested the motor with a Dewalt drill battery negative to the negative terminal on the motor and then the positive on the other terminals one by one to make sure that all of the speeds worked. and they did so now I knew I have a good motor and the wiring must be okay to give me some voltage. I tested it with a good earth point to make sure that the earth was a good connection too just in case this was giving a lower voltage and all okay there. I then found this post . I could here the relay clicking when using the switch Stalk so thought that would be most likely be all okay at least one of the intermittent or something would work so it came to the Possibility of the Relay in the Control Module under the Dash on the Drivers side. My module is the same as the above images and Ibecause my brother had the car still I purchased a Relay the same as in the picture hoping that mine would be the same, After the relays trip from china I finally could try it yesterday and great news the Relay was the correct relay. just a head up the ++part of the Relay is the datestamp when it was made and so it will be different each time so the Tyco V23084-C2002-A403 With 10 pins was the correct one for me. TO De Solder the joints I had success with a solder sucker, I tried some solder wick but I couldn't get that to work very well, (I think it has been in the cupboard for too long) it took a while to get the solder removed and once most of the solder was removed I then started to puch the reylay through little by little to move the pins down and then the relay came out without any damage to the board.A cleanup of the joints and then a resolder of the new relay and test time. straight away when I put the motor in to test worked like a charm. saving a lot of money but also the hassle of getting parts for this vehicle luckily the motor was working because I could only find left hand drive versions of the motor which wouldnt fit. So thank you very much for people helping each other out on the forum and than you versy much to pete_Ex-Wino As a quick disclaimer, this was my brothers daily drive and It could have gone badly wrong if the board was damaged during the relay swap, they aren't bad to do as long as you have some de-soldering practice first the pads are pretty big to work on without getting worried they will come off with the heat. but also it would be easy to damage the board and then it needs a new board so be careful if you do replace the relay and make sure you have the relay ready to swp to save downtime on the car. but it was well worth it Thank you very much
