it's not going a 'rally' speed, it's just moving continously. as i say when i brought it there was no relay in the slot and i cant find one that fits.

i have to remove the fuse to stop them moving...

i've not changed anything, cause i still haven't got a relay in the slot, as mentioned above, the calibra / vectra / or pre-facelift relay will not fit into the relay board snuggly...

The likely candidate for this problem, IMHO, is the set of contacts that "park" the wipers when they are switched off. They are probably in the wiper motor housing.

Kevin

you think the contacts have just been moved out of position then rather than snapped off

why do you think the new relays would fit snuggly into the position, it's confusing me that...

When i brought my 'W-plate Omega, the wiper relay was missing and the fuse removed as to stop the wipers, when the wiper fuse is connected the wiper continously run on the 2nd notch.


I've tried relays from both a '97 Calibra and a '00 Vectra and neither fixed it. Today I picked up a wiper relay from a '97/'98 Omega from a scrap yard but like the Calibra and Vectra relatys, it doesn't fit "snug" into the hole. Did Vauxhall change the relay or is something more seriously wrong?

Thanks

My ears were burning !!

If it just says SAFE then you are not turing the ignition on, and if it has a number to the left of SAFE then it may be code locked.

Either way, follow this link for full details and code entry procedure

Thanks, but that link doesn't work?! There is no number to the sitde of "SAFE", I'll try the holdin AS for 3secs in a min.

Thanks

Only got one key for it so really dont fancy snapping the key in the lock - I'm in the RAC, so i might just give them a call tonight and try and blag a free break-in.

Not the smartest thing i've ever done i have to say...

Omega General Help / Re: Repairing / Replacing Variable Wiper Stalk

« on: 14 May 2008, 16:26:25 »

well i've just taken the wiper stalk apart and traced the connections. Then using a multi-meter tested all the connections, and unfortunately it works fine....

... leads me to my next port of call which is checking the wiper motor stop check pin which has probably snapped and failing to report this to stop the wipers.

Yeah I've seen a few on ebay, but most have the buttons for a multi-function display on the end of the stalk - my GLS doesn't have the trip computer.

Would these wiper stalks still work on mine?

Thanks

I've removed the wiper stalk from my GLS cause the wiper wouldn't stop going (they've stopped now...).

I now need to source another one of these wiper stalks, but i'd rather try and repair this one has anyone ever opened one of these up and tried it?

Thanks

I removed them on my old corsa a couple of years back, and to be honest haven't even looked on the omega yet. am at work now, but when I get home I'll be sure to give it a whirl.

Thanks
