Windscreen wiper fault « am: 1.Februar 2022 17:3:15 »

I had two windscreen wiper problems, first the passenger wiper would only run at slow speed, second the driver wiper would not park. When I looked under the dashboard to check the relays, I noticed a dangling cable. On the driver side motor the white cable is not connected, and I cannot see a terminal that it should connect to. On the passenger side motor it *is* connected? Now my wipers don't work at all What have I done? Also, this is the first time I've unscrewed the driver-side dashboard. Is there a way to lift it out more than 3cm or do you need to disconnect everything? Thanks Maurice

You need to disconnect. When Lifting with Battery on, be careful: The rheostats housing is "hot", when touching the metal of the dash you'll get a short circuit. I always place a towel on the undeside when working on the dash panel when hot.

You were right, I've blown fuse B5. Replaced it temporarily and the wipers work again. The dangling cable on the driver-side motor is for the auto park function. It seems that the terminal has been snapped off so that will require the removal of the motor for repair. Still unsure why the passenger side only runs at slow speed. Thanks Maurice

Oh, I meant you need to disconnect the dashboard physically in order to get it fully dismounted :-) You don't need to disconnect the battery, sometimes you can't, e.g. when working on the dashboard. But it is much more safe to disconnect the battery - or to be very cautious and know what you're doing. The main switch is perfectly suitable.

Did you cross-change the relays? One of my wiper did also only run in slow. The relay was broken. Ah, and there are two types of relays for the wipers, one low-speed relay and one high-speed relay. If they are interchanged, the wiper won't work as demanded.

That's what I understood, but my reply was unclear I will check the relays tomorrow. I don't have any spare fuses so I will have to be more careful than last time. Thanks Maurice
