Clio wiper problem.

Nov 26, 2004 4 Replies

The gf has a 1997 clio (last facelift of the first shape).



After the ice a couple of days back, the wipers have stopped parking.



Both speeds still work fine, but intermittent runs continuously, and the wipers just stop wherever they are on the screen when you switch them off.



What is likely to have broken ? Motor? or relay?



Also does anyone know how much of a pain the motor is to change if that's the problem?



Thanks.



Brian.



I don't know the exact motor, but most have a fairly simple cam operated set of contacts for the self parking. Cleaning them may help.

Also sprach "Dave Plowman (News)" :-

More of a wiper and segments set-up, usually. As well as cleaning they often just need the contact springs bending up a bit.

Check the fuse. You may think this is an unlikely cure but it was my problem.

Thanks all,

I will take a look this weekend
