Windscreen wipers not turning on

[Dischordant]

Hi guys - windscreen wipers stopped mid wipe this morning and now still unresponsive. I've tried changing the fuse but to no avail. - Any idea where the control unit for the wipers is located please? (assuming that is what I should check next!)

Cheers!!

This happened to my car, where the wiper motor sits under the scuttle panel on the drives side does see a little water getting in. I cleaned up the terminals in the plug and it works fine now

Cheers mate - so a main bonnet off and get the contact cleaner in there is my first port of call?

yes thats it, you will have to take of the scuttle panel and wipers to get to the motor, you may have to clean the conectors up with a screw driver as mine were furry

Another thing to check is the wiper delay relay, it's on the fuse panel which is just above the pedal box as you know. If you have big feet it can sometimes get knocked and dislodged. I've known this happen for the fuel pump relay causing the car to cut-out embarrassingly.....
