Where is the wiper relay located in the new Sylphy?
2 Answers
The wiper relay of the new Sylphy is located in the fuse box on the left side of the engine compartment. The wiper switch is on the right side of the steering wheel, which includes controls for the wiper mode and wiping frequency. Moving the lever up and down adjusts the wiper arm frequency, while rotating the knob changes the mode. Wiper operation principle: The wiper motor adopts a 3-speed structure for easy speed adjustment. The intermittent timing is controlled by the intermittent relay, utilizing the motor's return switch contacts and the relay's resistor-capacitor charge-discharge function to make the wiper sweep at a fixed cycle. Wiper blade rubber: The wiper blade rubber is the tool that directly removes rainwater and dirt from the windshield.
With over a decade of auto repair experience, I've frequently observed that the wiper relay location for Nissan's new Sylphy is mostly inside the engine compartment fuse box—that black plastic housing near the battery or firewall under the hood. Open its cover, and you'll see a row of small square fuses and relays. The wiper relay is typically marked with a wiper icon or labeled "wiper relay," possibly numbered like K5 or R7. Once located, removal is straightforward—just gently pull it out with pliers to inspect for faults. This placement ensures waterproofing, dustproofing, and reduced damage risk from road vibrations. If wipers suddenly stop working, the relay is likely burnt out; replacements are inexpensive. Note that some model years of the new Sylphy may differ, so I recommend first checking the owner's manual or Nissan's official website for diagrams to avoid reckless attempts and electric shock risks. Safety first: always turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery when working in the engine bay. If locating it proves difficult, entrust the job to a professional shop for peace of mind.
