Hi
wipers bust the other day - I orignally thought it was a fuse, then found out it has a contact breaker - but I don't know where it is.....
Saying that, when I switch the wipers on, I can here the motor, but the wipers dont move, so I guess it must be the linkage.
It looks like I will have to get up under the dash for this - any tips please???
Thanks
Wipers...motor works....not wipers

Dont know how you have got on with solving your problem, but you dont necessarily have to do from under dash.
Just release motor from bulkhead by removing three nuts. You will be able to pull motor far enough forward to grip motor arm, and undo nut to linkage. Once motor out, you will be able to operate the wiper linkage with yer hand and see if it is free and not snagging anywhere. Check the actuator arm etc. actually mates with motor properly and go from there. If all of the above is ok, (or not) then go under dash. Save the crap job till last.
I took the servo out of my car last night by weaving my hands up through the dash and it was a blummin bugger of a job.
