Wiperstalk Issue

Post by Jay_6n2 »

Hi All

After some advise

My wiper stalk buggered up a while back, driving along and wiper going off all the time

I changed the stalk and all was good..

Now its done it again so obviously this stalk has gone too.. Is there a way to fix/replace the switch rather than the whole stalk?

The stalks arent repairable as they are sealed - its a replace or do nothing im afraid

Its odd that you have had two fail - they dont fail very often at all
