When i pull the stalk to wash the screen, the jets work but the wipers don't move at all. When on other settings and you turn the wipers off they don't go down to the bottom of the screen, just stop where they are? Has anyone had or know the solution to this problem? It is a 2002 2.6 Omega Saloon.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looked at the maintenace one, but isn't that mechanical? On mine the wiper stalk needs to be flicked on and off until they sit at the bottom of the screen. When the screen wash is used only washers work, the wipers don't even move at all. They were working ok but just started doing it. How many relays are there for the wipers and where are they on a 02 omega?

Thanks again for all help.

Where is the washer relay on a 02 saloon, and is it the same part number on a 1995 omega estate? If it is will try relay out of wifes car.

Thanks

Estate relays are different to manage the rear wiper and pump.

Swapping your switch with the saloon one should work to rule the switch out, but I suspect the issue lies with the motor rather than the wiring ;)

which is a common fault on lesser vauxhalls

Thank you both for the replying. I have found a washer relay under wifes '95 omega steering in fuse box. Number on it is 90494187. When she comes back will look on my 02, to see if have a washer relay with same number.  Never easy thing that goes wrong. Priced up a second hand motor from 52Omega on ebay.

I found a writeup somewhere about the park contacts and how to fix them.

Found the repair site for park contacts, this seems to also work on Omega motor?

the repair will work IF the park track contact is the issue
check with a multi-meter
could equally be the relay

That will be a VW 99 relay  . . .gives you varying time delay on intermittant wipe . Which is a worthwhile upgrade for the omega.

There is a guide to changing it & how it operates somewhere on here I think  :-\ :-\ .

VW 99 relay is easy to spot at a breakers  . . .its black & has  . . . . .wait for it  . . . . . .

  "99" stamped on top in white  :P :P     

Cannot vouche that it will cure your problem though  :-\ :-\

Personally I'd put a wanted advert in the relevant section, never know what might turn up.

Thanks again for all the help. I am managing to keep a 1995 2ltr estate and my 02 2.6 saloon on the road, from all the knowledge on this forum.

I have managed to get the VW 99 relay just waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully it will sort the problem, if not as you say biggriffin, I will ask on here for possibly a wiper motor and the yellow relay.
