Hello all,
Last night I came back home under heavy rain, and my wipers didn't work at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) RainX saved me and I made it safe but I want to fix this issue ! Where do I start ? They used to work, now nothing happens, what ever the lever position (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thanks Antoine |

hmmm.
an earth? moisture. sounds like all the rain might be connected. could be co-incidence but...... have to haul out a wiring diagram and look for how wiper motor is earthed. not something i have had to look into touch wood. it could be in the steering column switch. thats a bit of a job. i'd look elsewhere first. electrical stuff is my hoo doo. i leave that for my mechanic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) he is good at chasing that down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ----- on fuses. i remember someone once telling me about plastic core fuses popping on a 356 due to heat. the plastic expands. the old ones used to be a ceramic core, but that is not your problem. but.... i found myself a stash of the old ceramic core fuses off a merc guy. had to pay a bit to get them but its worth having those versus the cheap chinese copy fuses floating around on the internet. or you can sometimes find supplies of better quality plastic core fuses that date back a few years. whenever i go to the wreckers i look for old mercs to see whats left in the fuseboxes. |
