Hi all,
I'm new here and like most my first post is because of a problem on my punto evo
Recently my rear wiper started to worked intermittently when turned on. I guessed a faulty contact on the plug and I was right. The black wire (earth?) has been cut, no idea how.
So I tried to fix it with what I had at my disposal, that is some electrical wire. I attached some to the remaining metal bit of the black wire and made sure the electrical wire would go through the plug. I also made sure it wouldn't touch any of the 2 other wires.
Now the rear wiper works anew BUT the cycle of wiping: wipe > wait few seconds > wipe again > etc., isn't happening any more.
When I turn it on it either constantly wipes until I turn it off. Or wipes 3 times and stops in the middle of the 4th time and never turns on again.
Is it possible that my home-made fix on the black wire is causing the wiping cycle not to happen?
Thanks for your help
