Re: front wiper motor only works direct wired

If it work when you put power direct onto the motor, the motor is fine. Like Jon said, must be fuse or duff wiring. Presume there is a relay in the cicuit to cotrol the forward back motion? if there is that mught be the problem

Re: front wiper motor only works direct wired

Re: front wiper motor only works direct wired

Hmm... what is in there it must be the control unit for fast and intermitent.
when you put power on the motor direct, does it just spin or does it go back and forth?

Re: front wiper motor only works direct wired

I had that.
The printed circuit board failed.
You can bypass it by connecting the supply to different pins (on mine there are 5 pins i think but only 2 speed settings) by plugging into one of the others it gave me fast when I switched it on but when I stopped it would not return to start, it stayed in situe (normally across the screen)
We could not get at the pcb to repair it, £20 got me a whole new second hand one with the arm etc.

Re: front wiper motor only works direct wired

The PCB's in them are funny things. Is the intermittant not controled by a relay on the fuse board though
