Help. 05 db9 wipers won’t move to change blades

[crispyj]

Hi, I have checked and tried all suggestions on here and on YouTube and nothing works. I have checked the buttons function by selecting radio presets and they do. Has anyone had this issue. Thanks Chris.

I don’t want to pull the arm off to replace the blades.

2005 DB9 press buttons 8 and 9 together and hold. Turn ignition key to position 2

Wipers should move and stay upright. Release buttons and turn key back to OFF position.

To reset just insert key and turn to position 2.


ps Do not open the bonnet while wipers are vertical.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately that does not work on my car.

Have you tried and confirmed that you definitely need to centralise them to change the blades? You definitely dont need to on the Vantage.

Can’t lift the driver side high enough as bonnet hits.

If none of the inbuilt methods work, perhaps loosening one of the battery terminals, putting the wipers on, and then pulling the terminal connector off at the right moment? No idea if it would work but if you’re really stuck it might be worth a try?

I will check if opening the bonnet helps. Thanks

Can’t lift it so removed wiper arm and replaced blade.
