Thanks Pete, just been a stolen dads relay so I’ll try that in the morning. I’m not trying to do it in the dark with a torch. im struggling with the Haynes wiring diagram as there isn’t one! So I’m using a Passat wiring diagram as the closest I can find so your colours are very helpful! The only pin I was getting a constant 11.9v with the engine off was with the neg in pin 1 and pos in pin 2 at the wiper motor. cheers!

Thank you. I’ve located the relay and it appears to be clean inside with no evidence of any burning. Though it makes sense to be the relay at fault. I have 4 terminals in the plug to the wipers and only one is giving voltage. I assume 2 are for the varying speeds? I’m going to see if I can rob the relay from my dads car and see if it works

Evening. having an argument with my wipers. They’ve stopped working. I can hear the relay clicking as I engage the stalk, I have voltage at the plug that goes into the motor, but the wipers aren’t moving! I have 2 different wiper motors here and neither work! any suggestions hugely appreciated as I can’t drive in the rain with no wipers anymore 2004 mk1 superb, 1.9tdi awx. 330k miles. Besides this, everything else is working as it should be! thanks
