Wipers stoped working

[Scotia]

Its been cold but not that bad it was around 6 degrees here today today. the motors tiny and pretty rusted up at the back maybe some waters got at it. I’ll take it off in the morning and run some power directly to it but spray some WD 40 and roll it in sawdust and If rolling it in sawdust doesn’t work then it’s fecckd

Try pittin it in yer smoker better chance o that workin.

When the shaft seized in mine the motor was that strong it tore the bush in two.

On my 2cv the motor just started to emit smoke

I was surprised at the damage it did but fortunately i was able to repair everything.

On the X250 its common for the r/h/side wiper shaft to seize where it comes out thru body because water pools in the scuttle and seeps back into van. The wiper controls are done thru the BCM if theres a fault there your talking big bucks

I replaced the BCM on my Renault Master when the wipers failed and it cured the problem.

I got a second hand unit from a dealer and it wasn't that expensive and quite an easy fit. I can't remember the dealer I went to but they specialise in this sort of thing so I can dig out the details if Wully needs to go that way.

I'd be very surprised if the wiper spindles were seized on wullies van as it's so new ,common on older models for this to happen ,I think it's the motor due to lack of movement
will find out once wully has got further into it as the fuses are ok I'm sure there's no relay as his veh has a bsi unit and relay built in I'm sure

There are worse times that it could happen Wully, at 70MPH in the outside lane of the M8 in a thunderstorm springs to mind
....

that happened to me (well at 60MPH on the M4). Wiper on my Montego decided to carry on over the edge of the Windscreen and drop onto the side window. Great fun!

 

[Wully]

I think come the spring and all these vans that have been layed up for months like mine’s are gonna start getting wee niggling problems.

 

[trevskoda]

I warn mine every day, just one hiccup and you of to the van graveyard.

If you cannot see where you are going, make sure the horn works.

Like old times today .. went away in mine, picked up provisions then went into post office without mask. (totally forgot to put it on!)

Bet they thought you were a robber.

Bet they thought you were a robber.

Now I know why they were all running away.
It was quite nice to be out today and not put a mask when picking up shopping (click and collect) and then a walk by the river.

 

[trevskoda]

Some day we will all get back to normal whatever that is.

 

[rugbyken]

remember in sept you had a problem with the spray pipe pulling of could that be scource of rust ?

 

[molly 2]

Cancel mot could be anything from bad earth to faulty wiper switch ask garage to fix it before mot ,it will be a canbus system so don't go shorting wires out , first tool could be a laptop

Some day we will all get back to normal whatever that is.

Ah yes, that new normal!

had a wee look at that ken. fixed the washer and the washers are still working I’ll need to have a look this morning but it is very close to a drip edge that runs round the top of the letterbox I mean bonnet.

Took mine for MOT other day and the horn was working not very well tester got a couple of peeps out of it and then it went dead fortunately he didn't charge me so need to sort although i think it is the relay hopefully the one near the fuse in box but we will see
