Hi guys, have got a punto that has stood for 9 months, charged battery and starts fine, only the front and rear wipers are not working, washers work, so thats the fuses out as I believe they are all on one fuse.
Any ideas.

Are they?

What model of punto and year

its a 1995 punto 60 sx selecta

bumpppp, any ideas, are they on same fuse?

No one any ideas???

Ooops forgot about this thread

Err....switches were bit crap (I keep spares ) i'll dig out the manual!

thanks would be a great help. Hopefully got a manual come next week.

when you say switches are crap, are you talkng about the stalk that goes into the steering column?

Same fuse,first point of call is what feeds (lives & earths) you have (or don't have) at each wiper motor....got a test light or multimeter?

I'll have alook tomorrow, if I cant I'll ask a friend who might have a meter, it strange how they worked then stood for 8-9 months and dont work, I might even try the old magic wd40.

Mind your fingers in the linkage...seen it happen before

Switch ignition on & interior light,does the light dim ever so slightly when you switch wipers on,proves it's drawing current.Your looking for a ignition live at the motor,a switched live with wipers on & a earth of course

yes the light dims, will see if I can find the motor, thanks

got to the rear wiper motor and its hot to the touch, so assume electric is ok to it, where is the front, under the plastic, under the windscreen?

yes electric to the plug on the rear motor. Is it a new motor or could it be jamed?

I have been offered a 4x4, so Im going to sell the Punto, its on an M plate with 36000, wipers need sorting obviously, but a very clean all round, was going to use as economical run around, but want this 4x4 now. Any offers or ideas to its value.

And I spent 20mins digging out wiring diagram

Nevermind,well I brought mine for £150 with new MOT/head gasket/tming belt & new rear bushes,advantage of being in the trade However dealers still sell these for £5-800 & yours is low mileage

Put a ad up here on the forum or put it on ebay,good luck with your new car...did you check the wipers

Thanks for your help, I did check them the rear motor gets hot it you turn on and leave for a minute and the light dims, meter also picked up current. The fronts Ive not found yet, assume I need to take the plastic cover off below windscreen to get access, as I cant see it under bonnet.
Just fitted new full exhuast.

Does anyone have a front wiper motor for sale, or wheres the best place to get one from.
Its for a 1995 punto 60 sx selecta.
Thanks

i have 1 £20 + postage or i am an hours drive from you if you want to collect, pm if your interested
