306 diesel wiper problem

[Meatball]

The girlys front wipers have died on her 1998 306 diesel i can hear the relay clicking and the fuse is ok any suggestions folks..

If the relay is doing the job and the fuse is OK (which it must be if the relay's clicking) its almost certainly the motor. Get a voltmeter on it and find out if you get a voltage.

If you get a voltage then it's off to the scrappy with a crisp twenty for you!

The motors are quite common to failing on the 306, get one from a scrappy, shouldnt cost you much!

check the motor is not sitting in a pool of water, the drainage plugs can block easily and water kills the motor, dismantling and a bit of cleaning will get it going

Brought a secondhand motor off ebay £18 and now works like new..
And as mentioned the old one was full of water
