Relay buzzing during wiper operation

Post by TrevorK »

I noticed the other day that, when I have the wiper on the intermittent setting, I can hear a relay behind the dash buzzing when the wiper is returning to its park position. It's quiet when during the first part of the sweep, when it goes from the left to the right. It's while it returns to the left, it buzzes.

Any idea what the cause could be? Should I be worried?
What car is that?

Exactly the same on mine. It's the next job I'm carrying to keep all others at bay
