[Mk2] [Generic] Wipers not working, where are the contacts to clean?

Post by Rob »

My wipers git slow, then stopped working on fast setting, now stopped entirely.

I've changed the motor, Stalk, Wiper blades, cleaned up and lubricated the linkages.

Now I'm stuck and can only put it down to bad contacts, but where are they?

Cheers

Try basic diagnostics.

Download wiring diagram, and use a voltmeter to follow the voltage path from source to motor.
