I have a Xantia 2.1 T D Exclusive. That has a problem with the windscreen wipers . The wipers will only work on slow speed and don't self park.( the car is fitted with a sensor on the screen) can any one tell me where the timer / relay is fitted , or what the problem might be
Thanks Minty.

Almost certainly a problem with the motor itself.
when fitted to my 1.9 td it works fine any other sugestions welcome
It is not the wiper motor as I have fitted it to my other xantia a 1.9 td lx and it works just fine ( still have not herd where the timer relay is fitted ) ?.

OK, if it's not the motor, and it's not a poor connection to the motor, it's almost certainly the ignition-switched "permanent" 12v feed to it.
In pre-98 Xantiae, the wiper relay was under the habitacle fuse box/diagnose plug compartment (I'm not really sure where the hell is into an UK car: at your right, right?) I understand that post-98 cars should have the relays in the same place, but there are at least three relays involved: two for the rain sensor and one for the "regular" intermitent wiper.
