Hi all, i need urgent help. my wipers just turn on themselfs after cleaning out my egine bay with the high pressure cleaner. the fist mark on the wipers dont work (ie slowest wipes) but the rest seems to be responding. they just turn on themselfs and its F**king annoying having them on while driving, this only occured recently.

i let the egine cool b4 spraying and i made sure i leave it there for like 2-3hrs b4 i start the egine again.

PLease help, i know it was not a good idea to spray water into the egine bay, but isnt that the best way to clean it?

any help would be great apprciated.

THANKS!!!

nope didnt cover anything, well that a stupid mistake ive made, but i think ive fixed the prob.

i found the motor that moves the wipers, unplugged the clip,dried it with the blow dry, and there's a relay close under, turned that upside down *water drips out* :S. dried that too, and now the fisrt wipers mark moves when i wanted to :P YAY!!! hopes it F**king stay that way, the missis got very PMSi when we were driving in northbrigde with the front wipers going while its not even raining. LOL NOW thats cool (wipers certainly ****ed up my night)

things that pissed me off at first is that none of the fuse were blown so i knew i didnt arc anything, just the water bloodly set a few things off.

BTW jason, these are my front wipers soo i think pulling the fuse on them during winter is a VERY BAD idea.

holy crap you guys are psychic..

i was gonna post the same kinda problem.

My drivers side wiper shit it self the other night. Doesnt seem like a fuse thing, but like its mechanically stuffed. I was going down the free way with them on, and the driver side just extended all the way over the edge of the windscreen.

Once i brought it back down, it doesnt actually wanna move any more. The other wiper moves as per normal, with the 2nd one dead.

Any ideas as to where i can get get it fixed/repaired?

Prob broke one of the arms (under the black plastic at the bottom of the windscreen) same thing happened to me about a year ago, easiest to take the bonnet off to do it (on an R31) but you can struggle with it still on, as i did (was about 9pm, and was going to rain the next day, and had no-one to help with taking the bonnet off...)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
