Discovery 2 Rear wiper

Hi All, I have just bought a disco 2 and the rear wiper was not working, i checked each one of the fuse's and i had 12v to each one 18,26, and 30 as per other threads, relay 7 appears to be working when you pull it in and out, i have put a new motor on today but still no joy, i can hear the relay on the main fuse board switching about every 10 sec approx. any thoughts. is there a wiring diagram someone can point me to.
Thanks

But do a search on web there are a load of free manuals just got to find the one you need.

Can’t help with your problem sorry.

Have you checked that there is power to the new motor when the wiper is activated?
If yes, you have a dodgy motor and should send it back.
If not, and there is power to the relay as you suggest, then it sounds as though you may have a continuity break between the motor and the relay.

Hi I have just check it all out again. When the rely energises I get 12v to the motor but it doesn’t start. If i bridge out the power coming from the relay on the motor connector (3 pin connector) to the actual motor (brown of 2 pin connector) supply it works as it should do on the latching supply. I think it’s something to do with the relay not holding long enough to latch can’t see it being a second motor as if I trick it, wiring it external it works.
