Peugeot 306 wiper problem

Hi, the front windscreen wiper on 306 only operates on 1 setting, all other setting is inoperative. Peugeot garage suggested to change the wiper motor (£150). I had tried with a used wiper motor, also changed the switch stalk without any luck. Anyone had similar problem on the 306?

Haynes manual doesn't even show the relays on this car, I checked and found

2 relays (purple/violet) under the steering wheel which are supposed for the front wiper. I switched them over and it is still the same. Anyone knows which position the relays should be, or any control unit hidden somewhere?

Any help is appreciated.

What setting does it operate on. If you turn off the wipers, will they park or stop where you switch off.

It works only on the 1st continuous setting, not intermittent or fast setting. It stops where you switch off or turn to different setting. Also the washer jet works but the wiper doesn't.

If you've changed the switch then it must be the relay thats faulty. The relay controls the intermittant, wash/wipe and park. There are two wiper relays (front and back) The back relay is usually blue. Don't know about main wiper relay. It'll probably have five pins four normal size and one 3mm off to the side.
