Ok, I seached the forum and found the relays and can access them after a bit of difficulty. One forum anwer said to check as follows Phil01 quoted ..... ''after every thing we did we decided to pay thirty five pounds to an auto electrition and have it looked at. he checked all conections and circuits to do with the wipers he found that the relay number 53 on our galaxy or R15 or K175, the relay itself was working but the socket which the relay goes into was not making a full conection. the conectors with in the socket was spread to wide which made no contact with the relay '' Phil01 was successful but I've attempted the same thing, but my relays are labelled totally different but decided to reseat all of them, but still no joy. As there is still a little life left in the wipers ie 1 sweep then they stop for about 30 secs before sweeping again maybe once or twice, I took each relay out one by one to see which one totally killed the wipers. Only one relay did this but it also killed everything else I'm not sure if the relay is located in this area or not. Remember this is also effecting the front demister, also I have checked the relevent fuses. Can anyone suggest anything else to try, much appreciated .. Galaxy 1.9TDi 1999 T reg
