Technical Rear Wiper not working?

[ronnieronson]

Rear wiper just suddenly stopped working today.

Haven't had a chance to do the obvious and check things like fuses, or supply to the motor, but I shall tomorrow at some point.

Off hand does anyone know:

A> which fuse it is for rear wiper?

and

B> does anything else run from that fuse, such as rear demister etc?

unfortuneatly i am the only other regualar cento poster online (00.30) and i am going to have to say read the manual because it will be in there

i am sure you will have found out the answer by the time the rest of them get here in the morning

Fuse number 7 (15A) is for rear wipe and rear wipe only
Maybe you're in luck and its only the fuse?

<EDIT>I should say..........rear wash & wipe, not just wipe</EDIT>

Lol.... yeah, cinq fuseboard diagram looks little like the Sei one AFAIK...

I'm assuming this principle of "wash & wipe" applies to the Sei too, and in which case... "Bugger!" - rear washer jet works just fine... guess it's the motor, but will check the fuses, supply etc before I go raiding the scrappys.

Oh sorry Ron
Was thinking of Cinq. Hope its different for Sei!!

I'd check the supply and see that none of the little contacts in the hatch have been damaged or fried. F25 is the fuse in question (according to the book) but it supplies the front wipers, too (according to the book).

Check the contacts and the earths at the rear.

contacts are the problem - one seems to have melted a little

Oh dear. Visit to ye olde scrappy followed by liberal smear of vasaline, applied topically.

Been to the scrappy and got a cinq one - only difference seems to be that the pressure switch for the light is not present (which over time would obviously kill my battery).
Will acquire a Sei one asap, and get the petroleum jelly out

This is going to be a good one, so ready yourselves!

Should I fill in the tabs box for this?

The vaseline is good idea on the contacts, but you'll need to make sure your shaft is well lubricated. For this a penetrating fluid needs to be worked into it.

A slightly seized shaft can lead to an increase in power attempting to cross the contacts leading to heat build up.

Problem is, after 100 miles on a wet motorway you can see bugger all out of the rear window!
