Wiper not working ***MOT SOON***

Post by ticki »

Help!!!

The slowest speed on my wiper's is not working, also when I spray the widescreen the wiper's don't kick in.

However the Imtermediate and High speeds still work :?

Any suggestions?

You may well get through the MoT as your wipers and washers are working, all be it not the way they are supposed to! It sounds like you may have a problem with either a relay or the wiper control arm.

Try giving the mechanism a good blast with WD-40 under where the wipers are bolted in - theres a load of levers and the motor. Mine benefitted :)

thanks all

It was the relay after all. All I did was take it out, had a look at it, and put it back, and then hey hey presto all is working again :lol:
