Hello
I have a sporadic problem with the windshield wipers.
When I turn them on intermittent, they work fine, but suddenly the relay starts clicking rapidly for 1-2 seconds. Then the wipers resume their regular movement. It's like the relay doesn't stay on, and after 1-2 seconds of clicking, it catches on and the wipers work as normal. It can happen every 3 to 20 times the wipers make a round.
The problem can also occur when I switch them on low or high.

Any thoughts here?

Sporadic problems are often caused by corrosion around the wires' ground points, also called earth.
Have you tried with a new relay?
