Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Front Wipers Dead Looks like others have had the same problem, but I'll add this tread as I haven't actually seen anyone say they have got a fix. Anyway. The front wipers are dead. Symptoms started with the intermitant speed failing, then the normal speed not working, then the other day the remaining fast speed failed = no more windscreen wipers. The rear still works so not the fuse. Is there a relay? or could it be the actual motor itself? Being new to Sie's I'm at a loss, especially as Haynes won't touch them & the L.Porter manual I have isn't complete wrt wipers & electrics. Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Posts: 535 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Front Wipers Dead Hi, The cinq manual may not be much use for the wiper problem, my cinq manual only covers the 2 speed wipers on the earlier cinq's, so a sei may have a different setup... On the cinq the wiper controller is on the motor, no timer relay for the intermittant etc, but the sei may have had a relay cos of the 3 speeds, it might say in the handbook that came with the car... Thanks Paul T

Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Front Wipers Dead Thanks to both of you for the replies. The L.Porter manual I have covers re-fitting a wiper motor for the Fiats & what you've said confirms my suspitions that there is no seperate relay. I think the motor is cream crackered. Time to cough up for a new one...

Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Front Wipers Dead I went & got a new motor from the Fiat dealer - cost around 70 notes. Figured fitting shouldn't be too difficult - I've worked on all my car engines before. Well Fiat, you tried very hard to make it impossible to change the motor at home without removing the engine! ![]() But Hah! I succeeded. Snow storm, grazed knuckles, swearing & all aside, but hey I have fully functional windscreen wipers in time for the MOT. ![]()
