WINDOW SCREEN WIPER NOT WORKING

[CERB BOY]

Hi guys time to sort my window screen wiper problem and the screen washer doesnt work. The fuse checks out OK have also swapped the wiper switch and screen washer with headlight switches to eliminate possible switch problem. Cannot find if there is a wiper control unit, have looked near the ECU unit and found nothing. Is there one and where else would it be mounted.

try looking at the park switch, seems to be common prob, fairly cheap to replace http://www.thetvrshop.com/TVR/Parts_details/TVR%20...

its on the wiper motor its self, behind the expansion tank. had problem with one before but it just turned out to be the wires going into the motor had pulled lose from the plug due to very little slack in wires coming out of bulkhead. or try looking at the ribbon that runs from the back of the steering wheel.

as for the washer check the pipes, they usually come lose and end up lying on the manifold and melting

Pull out carpet area covering ECU and heater control unit and up higher hidden under dash area close to where passengers knees are is where you will find the wiper control unit.

Cerb boy, it is a wind screen not a window screen, it shields you from the wind not windows.

My park motor went last year. They worked (ish) when they felt like it and then stopped where they liked. The part isn't expensive IIRC.

are you getting a feed going through the fuse... are you getting a feed going to the switch??? could this be a ribbon issue in the steering wheel???

So your washer and motor do not work? Tried the steering wheel ribbon cable?
