I just acquired a 1994 Mercedes SL320.
I distinctly recall this automobile being featured in automotive publications in 1989 when I was thirteen. As a young working-class individual, I never envisioned that I would be able to purchase such a magnificent roadster. My desire for these automobiles was unfulfilled, but at the age of 48, I have finally acquired a stunning 1994 SL320. Eager to join this esteemed forum.
The introduction has been completed. Addressing my issue. I am experiencing a malfunction with the windshield wipers; they do not operate on the intermittent setting, and the blade fails to return to the off position. You must engage in a brief game with the stalk and timing your actions accurately to ensure the blade lands appropriately.

I am cognizant of the K10 control module, which I understand regulates the K26 wiper relay. Could you please provide the location of the K26 relay in the SL320 M104 engine compartment, or confirm if the K26 relay exists in the M104 engine?
All prior forums I have examined about this issue seem to be to SL500s. Any guidance or assistance would be much appreciated. It may be evident, although I am unable to locate it.

Based on my expertise, your issue is likely associated with the slip rings and the corresponding finger blades that operate on them. They are situated at the rear of the wiper motor. In 1994, the plate should be unscrewed instead of being riveted.

Thank you for your response. I will investigate this. Is it necessary to remove the whole motor to access the rings and blades? Thank you.

Regrettably, affirmative.

Thank you.
