This sounds like an issue with an electronic circuit
Inside the motor/gear assembly that senses when the
wipers are in their down position. The circuit
maintains power to the wipers until they are
positioned at the bottom of the windscreen, then
cuts the power to the motor. This circuit also parks
the wipers between wipes when they are on their
intermittent setting. The circuit could be faulty
and failing to cut the power to the motor. Obviously
when you shut the car off the wipers will stop and
the problem will only occur again once switched back
on. |

| Question: |
| I've just
replaced the glow plugs on my Pajero Exceed and it
still wont start. Also the glow plug light on the
dash is not lighting up. Could this be the relay? If
so where is the relay as the manual is in Japanese? |

Mechanical Help: |
Its likely in your case given the year and model
that you will have a dual relay setup which means
fitting 6.2v plugs as opposed to 11v or 12v plugs.
The 6.2v are for quick starts and if you have fitted
12v the relay will cut them out before they have
warmed sufficiently as they take longer. This is a
common mistake made with this mode and will prevent
starting particularly in cold weather.
It could be the relay/s that are faulty or the
control module. If the vehicle wont start the relay
that is closest to the engine should be the preheat
relay, the second one comes on and off periodically
until the engine is up to temperature. Both relays
are located between the batteries. |
