Graham Hutton Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I wonder if any of you could offer some advice. My wipers won't work! All fuses are intact and the washers squirt OK which I understand are on the same fuse. The wipers did work but I ran them across the dry screen whilst checking the length of a new blade and after 2 wipes they stopped.Is there a relay of some description somewhere that I am missing, maybe a fuse in the wiper motor itself or is it likely that the motor just got overloaded and expired? The car is only 2 years old.Any advice appreciated as I'd like to contort my 6'3" frame upside down in the footwell for the minimum amount of time to fix it. Who needs yoga!

Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 8, 2023 Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 What model of Seven and type of switch?Do you have a multimeter?And would you like a wiring diagram?ThanksJonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Check for disconnected cable or earth. Maybe the wires on to the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Hutton Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 It's a 2 year old 310R SV. I have the all the wiring diagrams and a multimeter but not spent much time fault finding yet. I'd be surprised if it was the switch given they stopped working whilst running. I will nonethless check it out. If it isn't the switch, isn't the fuse and all the cabling to the motor seems OK then I can't think what else it could be other than the motor itself??

Wrightpayne Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Do they have an intermittent feature. On my '98 car you flick the wiper switch on-off-on in quick succession to get intermittent.In a particularly heavy downpour, and unaware of this feature I was swearing alot. Ignition off and it resets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
