Wipers - suddenly stop then restart 15 minutes later
Hi has anyone got an idea for this wiper issue?
Driving to work the wipers suddenly stopped. Though it was a relay so swapped it out. Wipers started them 10 miles later stopped. I called into a breaker and got a bunch of relays as I thought it was popping them. Today I took the wipers off and replaced the motor and arm mechanism. This has not cured the fault so I know its not the motor. With he ignition on and the wipers on they run for a few minutes then stop again! A few minutes later they start for a bit then conk out! I am wondering if its the fuse box, or perhaps the stalk mechanism behind the steering wheel now? Its a real issue as its my work car and I cant get to work. Living in Cumbria it does have a tendency to rain! Any help appreciated. Rich PS its not the intermittent setting by the way before that one gets mentioned |

Hi.
To be honest i think you`ve answered your own question. If you`ve changed out everything bar 2 items with no joy then that`s where you go next. Another possibility is a break in the wiring that makes/breaks with heat or vibration or there is an earthing issue. |
