The T.I.B.
is rarely serious
OK this is definitely a techy one. Could do with some advice cos I can't get my wipers working
THE HISTORY:
a few weeks back the front wipers flicked on of their own accord. Not for long so I left it alone.
happened again a week or two later.
then last week they came on and stayed on. intermittent but not enough power for a full cycle, stopped halfway back down. kept doing it whenever i pushed the wipers back down again.
turned the engine off and the next morning the battery had been drained completely.
THE SITUATION:
I assumed a short somewhere from the symptoms.
Now the wipers won't even come on.
Tried another good stalk (thanks Ash!) - no change.
Took a multimeter between -ve and the wiper motor plug and got this:
Any clues on where to start? The wiper fuse is ok and the wiring looks in good condition. could it be relay related even
Thanks Tom
