    Hi!

    Could you please send me a picture of the location of the front wiper's relay because it suddenly lost 2 of it's speeds and now has only one. Plus sometimes the wipers start running without being turned on by me.

    Regards

    Sounds like you either have a problem with the Bsi or the wiper stalk itself.
    Are the lights..indicators..horn working correctly...?

    Sometimes water ingress into the bsi can cause these problems.
    The wiper relay should be in the engine compartment fusebox.

    Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I have no idea what a BSI and where I can find it :S I do get a lot of problems with water leakages though.
    About the relay - I suppose it could be in the engine compartment fuse box, but this is why i need a picture of the box and the relay so that i know which relay to replace... :)

    P.S. Maybe it is important to add that I also experience problems with loss of stop lights(no power going back to the stop lights I only have rear lights and the lights I get when i turn the headlights on), and occasionally when i turn on the ignition key there is no power going back to the fuel pump - none at all so the starter keeps on turning but I get no fuel going to my engine, my air conditioning turning on and off as it pleases without me pushing the air conditioning on/off key. All these problems seem to occur and them magically work themselves till they occur again.

    This Definitely sounds like a Bsi problem...The bsi is usally under the steering columb...it looks like a fuse box....the bsi is a boby controller which looks after all the lights..wipers..indicators..immobiliser etc
    These test/repair bsi's...http://www.bba-reman.com/content.aspx?content=citroen_bsi_body_control_failure
    There is also a BSI Reset procedure in there which maybe worth a try before you go sending it off for repair.
    A good way to check the relay is to remove the engine bay fusebox cover activate the wipers and put your hand on the different relays and check out which one or ones are clicking.
