If you have the rainsensor on the windscreen, then there is a cable running from the sensor to the relay.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Im back behind the wheel of the 996, after a long sabbatical (boring story including a court case with a bodyshop).
Anyway, having just put 2k miles on it around France, the intermittent wipers are my #1 priority to fix. (its a long list though!)
I have the rain sensor type wipers (i think? lens type thing in front of the rear view mirror?)
I get one or maybe two sweeps from intermittent position on the stalk then nothing, and it was definitely raining hard enough to trigger it coming back last night!
I dont have a relay in the footwell nor provision for one.
I get one sweep if i move the speed adjuster on the dash left to right.
Thoughts? and thanks!
Have you moved the speed adjuster to the minimum delay to check that? I thought mine was bust but realised the delay is actually pretty big, even on the minimum setting. Certainly longer than any other car I’ve owned.
I had the same issue on my car when I bought it, the previous owner had the windscreen replaced and the sensor was not properly remounted.
It might also be that the intermittent wiper relay needs to be cleaned, pushed in properly or replacing. It's located at the top of the relay panel, which is above the fuse panel.
If you have the rainsensor on the windscreen, then there is a cable running from the sensor to the relay. If not, then there should be a blue relay instead...
Have a look and let us know what you find..
This thread is useful and includes photos to the relay etc :

Yep, it looks like you have option M265, which means that the system is controlled by a module under the bonnet (apparently...)
I admit, I can't help - it could be a problem with this module? The part number should be 99661511300, they are available used from £30 upwards on eBay.
Thanks for the help mate, a relay would have been easier! I have chucked in a lowball offer on one, lets see what happens.
It rarely rains in the UK right...?
*update; the seller has already come back with a counter offer, oh! the excitement!
Got a bit confused as there was nothing there on the side suggested.
RHD on the other side!
Seller is playing hard ball on my counter offer... Who will crack first...?
