Rear Wiper MK2

Post by scrumpyone »

My rear wiper did one sweep this morning & then stayed horizontal. The relay is clicking, but no movement. Any thoughts?

I’d say check the motor, firstly see if there’s power in the connector going into a he motor with a multimeter and if there is it will be motor related. If not it will be before that.

Always worth checking the nut securing the wiper arm to the motor spindle is tight.

Mine didn't work for years and that was all it turned out to be.
