Hi guys, I currently am running some issues on my kitkat (lol ikr) the bugger wouldn't make the Wipers works properly they work only on the 3rd or 4th stage (the fastest one) the rest wouldn't work, I have tried changing the Wiper Motor and the Wiper Switch, my last hope is in one of the Fuses, but I have got 0 to no idea which fuse might be the right one...

Also I am running issues with my A/C it only blows out Hot air through the Defrost Vents but will blow out Cold Air through the Middle Vents.


Reason why I love Jags and hate them in the same time, you fix something, something else tends to break

Also the Jaguar I own is a 2002 3.0 V6 model, but it's a facelift, it has the body and interior of a 2003-2005 with the Touch Screen Navigation and stuff like that.

Cheers,

I'm not sure what you mean by "3rd or 4th stage" for the wiper speed. I thought the wiper motor only had a high and low speed. Or are you talking about the intermittent settings?

For the wiper motor, relay R15 controls high or low speed. It's possible that relay is acting up. It looks like R16 (park control) is also part of the circuit. You should find several other identical relays that you can swap for troubleshooting.

Here's a recent thread about erratic wipers on an '01 that may be of interest to you. The fix was one of those relays:

Yea my bad, ment it only works on the High Speed. anyways gonna give it a go at the files you have sent me.

Cheers

Ok so yeah, this is the R15 relay i have got going on (i know it looks god awful), if i am not wrong the previous owner did a jump to the R16 because he couldn't find an relay for the R15, I have got a spare fuse that fits right in R15 but I am afraid for it no to ruin something else. Should a Relay look like that? Shouldnt it had a big thic coil of cooper in it?

 

spare relay* instead of spare fuse, couldn't find the edit button :P

 

Oy vey! Track that guy down and smack him!

R15 should look just like R16. No wonder the wipers were acting up. The previous owner only did a band-aid repair.

R7 looks damaged, too. That's one row forward, immediately to the left of that orange jumper wire. Looks like he kept tapping it and broke the cover. Does R8 have similar damage, too?

 

R7 has the case damaged (the inside is good), it's working it was tested by a electrician I took it to him to check if it was a faulty Fuse, but luckly it isn't (thank ****), as for R15, I will try to swap it with a brand new Fuse I took from another Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6 2003 model. It's from a salvaged car ( is that the word for cars that got into a crash?)

 

It's a 2003 model, not 2002.

 

I know, but in the Registration Documents (don't know how they are called in USA, UK or all the English Speaking Countries) it's registred as a 2002 Jaguar S Type 3.0 V6, my father owned a similar Jaguar 5 years ago, it was a 2002 model 2.7 Petrol with Touch Screen and all. Maybe they are face lifts to a 2003.

 

It is quite a normal problem with the s type some of the facelift cars were sold early. It is better to go by the vin number.

 

I fixed the bugger, after a year and so. Decided to take it to the Mechanic and it turns out that along the way the cable which leads to the fuse box and the switch might be problematic, the mechanic decided to run a cable from the Fuse to the switch, it fixed it and it works in high and low, but now they won't park he assumes it's the Wiper Motor, but I assume it's because of the method we did with the wire. But at least they work now, regardless if they stop in the middle of the windshield, gonna try and see what I can do to fix the parking.

The issue was that the Wipers were on the Failure Mode or something like that, it leads to the wipers only working on the High Speed.

So if someone has the same issue, first things to do is check the Fuse and then the Cable that leads to the Switch, and at the end the switch it self.

 

Something that I've quite noticed with facelifted cars, but a thing I learned from BMW's and Jaguars is never buy facelifts, just wait a year or 2 and buy the proper version. They should just say that Facelifts are a type of Alpha or Beta for Cars lol...
