Hey Alistair. Does the rear wiper relay have a printed circuit board? My 99 "programmable" front wiper relay would be intermittent but would come on if I pushed up at wires/connectors to it. Issue turned out to be cold solder joints at relay PCB. Easy fix. Neil. On 3/21/20, Alistair Bell <albell@shaw.ca> wrote: > 1. For a few years now I’d have this occasional sluggish rear wiper.
