Technical Rear wiper not working...

[d34noj]

My rear wiper doesn't work - it's not worked since I bought it, but as i'm trying to get everything working again (including the rain, parking & light sensors!) i'm gonna try and fix it! Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be?

Also the car squeals until warm (which I think is the fan belt) is it easy to sort on an Abarth as it looks a bit tight down there!

Cheers in advance!

No mate, thats too easy! if it was a fuse I wouldn't ask on a forum because someone would type

See if you get the interior plastic backing off the inside of the tailgate, you may be able to investigate what's up. It's easy enough to remove as I've recently found out...two bolts and then carefully pry off at the corners as it's held on with plastic pop catches.

When you get it off, may be able to find out if it's a loose connection or perhaps needing a new motor.

Other than that, perhaps a person with more know how can help.

Cheers for that, wasn't sure if there was something that happens with most Stilo's or if i'm just unlucky

No problem, hope you get it sorted

I haven't had it happen to mine, but it is pretty low mileage, so could happen yet. Not sure if it's a common problem, but I guess these things happen in motoring to everyone.

I think you are unlucky. The usual problem with the rear wiper is it not coming on when you select reverse gear, and that is due to a failed reverse light switch. Also, you dont have a boot open warning do you? If the boot is open, or the ECU thinks it is open, the rear wiper will be disabled.

 

[d34noj]

It tells me when the boot is open mate, its an Abarth - I have a sneaking suspicion its the motor! just my luck that...

decks will be along soon!

could also be switch on the stalks. the cost will make you cry, so try everything else first

Noooooooooooo!


oh well, if it's got to be done... Next is the sensors!
