Morning all,
I had a call from the wife yesterday to say the windscreen wipers on the A2 have 'stopped working'. It was particiularly icy and so I suspected she had tried to wipe the screen before ensuring the blade was free to move, but she assures me that she scrapped the screen and freed the blade before starting up. Hmmm; maybe, maybe not!
Anyway, I'm now faced with tracing the problem which, as I see it, must either be the wiper motor, relay or the stalk (I've already checked the fuse which is fine). The screen washer jets still work ok. I'm not sure I checked the single sweep 'down' function (I'm now at work and the A2 is at home). I'll check this tonight. Moving the stalk 'up' results in nothing at all; no click from a relay and no sound from the motor.
So, my questions are:
1) Where is the wiper relay, and how can I check if it's working or not.
2) How can I test the stalk to see if it's working correctly or not.
3) Have I missed any other possible causes?
Looks like I'll be outside, crawling around the car fault finding most of the weekend!
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
