On my 2001 S2K, when using the wipers on intermittent, there is an loud relais clicking sound on every stroke.
To me it sounds like the indicators, it is certainly almost as loud.

My dealer listened to it and thought it was the relais fot the wipers, and he suggested it was normal. He also suggested that if it really annoyed me, he could insulate it, but this could me overheating and failure of the unit. Obviously i decided against it.

So: is this normal, and if not, what can i do about it?

Any suggestions?

 

Normal.

 

Turning up the radio covers up the clicking

 

yep...just learn not to hear it

 

How loud is the click?

My wipers developed a very loud click at the top of each stroke, and it turned out that the rubber wiper blade had worked its way out of the blade by about half and inch. Pushing it back in fixed it.

 

We're talking about the click that's associated with the intermittant feature. The click happens just at the start of each stroke cycle. It's an electronic switch that's thrown to initiate the wiper motor.
