Windscreen Wipers Died

[blind_elk]

Hi all,

The R30's wipers just suddenly stopped working Saturday. Makes it difficult driving home - fortunately only very light drizzle, an hour earlier it was bucketting!

The fuse is ok. The fusible link is ok. everything else that relies on the "timer controller" is still working. Poking around under the bonnet, I can hear this occasional "click" sound - I'm thinking it's the timer controller for the intermittent function, but the switch is "off".

Any thoughts.

My wiper motor died this Saturday as well! I thought it would be the fuse or the control stalk, but it was the wiper motor itself. Sorry, not very helpful, just feeling your pain! D

... but it was the wiper motor itself...

That was my thought.

The rear wiper still works. But the front washer doesn't work either. Maybe it's the stalk itself.

I've had the stalk let go before. At least it's easy to test... plug in another one under the dash and cross your finders. The wiper motor is irritating to replace when your hands dont fit in the vents!

finders? fingers.
