Windscreen Wiper Problem
Hi
One day while it was raining quite heavily the windscreen wipers just stopped in the parked position.
Since then they have not worked.
- The rear wiper works
- all of the washers work
- from what i can tell the wipers don't try to move - ie don't seem to be stuck.
I have checked the fuse which is fine.
My local garage have had a look at it, they couldn't find the fault, they said the motor is fine and basically i would be better getting a auto electrician to look at it.
I believe if it is a relay or something similar i can replace it my-self.
So i am looking for your ideas of what might be wrong!
