Wipers dead

Post by L14MNP » 23 Oct 2010 11:21 am

No power to stalk. Fuse/relay fine.

Any ideas? 1984 mk2 360.

Sick of messing about with this car!

Connections at the switch and wiper motor OK?

Are fuse connections clean? Don't be fooled by just looking at them and assuming it's clean, wifes car did this a few weeks ago. Went out in the rain and working perfectly, stopped for 5 minutes and when she went back to the car wipers would not work this time, fuses looked fine but cleaned them anyway and back in business.

It's gonna be a wire problem most def. Only way to know is to bypass from the fuse to the next point in the circuit with a test wire.

Sorry folks! Forgot about this.

Can anyone direct me to the fuse layout info that is on here?

I've seen/used it before but can't find it now. IIRC it tells you what circuits the numbers on the fuse box cover correspond to

As for the wipers, I have the car in bits atm for other reasons, and the earth wasn't the best for the indicator stalk, do both stalks share the same earth? There was no sign of a rouge one for the wiper side and I can't rememeber if it has it's own. It may explain these goings on though.


Cheers, Liam.
