Rear Wiper Problem...
« on: 15 August 2011, 18:16 »
Anyone else got this problem or can someone offer a possible solution.... Plz... :smiley:

Rear wiper only swipes once and stops - Most of the time but not always - Really bloody annoying.. :angry:

Had a play with it yesterday and tried a new(ish) No72 relay.. still does the same...

Could it be a fault with the motor unit? But I thought it was controlled by the relay  :undecided:

Hello bud.
  Open the boot and look at the top left where there is a rubber boot.  Pull that out and see if the wires are broke there.
They seem to chaff on the bodywork i think, when you open and close the boot over time.  If you do have to repair them it can be a pain in the butt.
  Best to remove the headlining and you can get to them easy then.

Did have a fiddle with the wires as I had that problem before but when that happened the whole unit didn't work at all...

Might have another look tomorrow just to make sure...

Mine was very slow - stripped it out & freed off the spindle, now it works fine
Just a thought  :wink:

Replace the wiper motor, it's on it's way out... Mine currently doing exactly the same thing and yes, it is bloody annoying stopping half way thru the swipe :angry:
