Tried replacing fuse..getting nothing on the diagnostic apart from windscreen wipers or rear wiper...silly question and apologies fir my lack of knowledge but I'm trying How do I test the motor for the wiper? Can I buy a multimeter to test its output and I so where would I test it....im slowly learning about this car so please excuse my lack of electrical knowledge Thanks

Took ages to fix..... I unplugged it.... mind you mine hadn't stopped working, it was working too much, it wouldn't switch off...!!!!  Pete

Drivers side works perfectly. Passenger sides completely dead..im presuming its the motor. Will have a nosy tomorrow. Zero water from jets either so don't know if its something to do with the water pumps affecting it? I'm actually enjoying fixing all these wee problems..

They have three wires to the passenger one and four to the drivers one,

black/brown is a switched earth red/slate is permanent power and brown is earth (drivers has another colour which does the washers so forget about that...)

Take the headlight out then test to see if you have 12v on the red/slate, if you do then check the switched earth on the black brown (put one probe in each connection in socket and get someone to operate them.. if that is all good then the motor is bust...

Can try the motor by supplying power and earth to the contacts...

You do know they only work with the headlights on when you wash the windscreen and then only every 4th or 5th time you wash the windscreen...???

Good luck  Pete

That's brilliant thanks for the info Yeah I've not long sussed that out regarding having the headlights on lol....my solitary wiper works on the first attempt then if I repeat the motion (tried over 10 times it wont repeat the motion) tried pulling and replacing fuse today..nada ...im stubborn and I still have until Feb to get mot done so hopefully crack it before then

Are headlamp wash/wipe part of the MOT?

Think its down to the discretion of the testers..i was informed that if the car has xenon bulbs and wipers/jets fitted they have to work as a dirty lens can affect oncoming drivers eyes for some reason? Don't know how true that is tbh...

The wiper has probably seized inside, I had a similar problem where I couldn't get one to park and on stripping down the mechanical resistance from wear inside was stalling the motor. You can strip them down fairly easily once removed (unclip the tabs on the back) and clean out and re-grease to see if it helps. They can be removed without removing the bumper with some gentle persuasion.
I just replaced mine with a 2nd hand one from ebay for £30. Just make sure the seller is reputable (known breaker for example) as obviously there are lot floating around that people might sell as working but aren't.

Great! I'm stripping and repairing the rear wiper at the weekend so no harm in giving the headlamp one a wee try as well..nothing to loose and a few extra quid in the pocket for other repairs if I'm successful! Thanks for the advise guys...

Both of mine were broken inside and had been disconnected and my car was with a mate being repaired and we only had a day to MOT it so ended up buying two new ones for £300! And yes they are part of the MOT if you have xenons but probably still if they are there they have to work
I bought a spare one of eBay for £30

I might have a motor fir that side in the garage. It's 2nd hand, so I'll trust you to tell me if it works, then we can agree a small fee.it had been bench tested ages ago and it did work. I bought it off someone on here ages ago then bought a new car instead!

Amazing! I shall pm you buddy
