Problems with my wipers

[vauxhallben]

Hi guys I'm having problems with my wipers there not working at all front or rear? Is it going to be the motor or could be the stalk? Thanks

can't be the motor ...unless your very unlucky and both failed at the same time, so would be checking the fuse and the stalk

Ok will do thank you

I'm thinking that it's the Wiper Relay...

It's weird for them both to have failed, at the same time...

It's in the Fuse Box under the steering wheel...

33 warning buzzer headlights left on
34 turn signal
35 wiper intermittent
36 rear fog lights (Yes it may be just a wire loop)
37 front fog lights
38 horn or heated screen

So I've had a look and it's the fuses, it's blown up 3 now, been told I need a new wiper motor, anybody know if anyone breaking 1?

[vauxhallben]

The front? And wouldn't have said they were frozen

so that means the windscreen was perhaps needing a scrape ?? just may have overloaded it and its seized, try giving the wiper motor a wee thump it may free it off...and next time you need to scrape a windscreen, try just lifting the wipers up first of the screen...they do stick quite easily, and don't take much to give the motor a sudden surge in trying to shift them

Ok will give that a try thank you, and yes from now on I won't use the wipers straight away

No tried it tbh, was more focused on getting the front ones to work as were they had stopped was right in my line of vision

The rear one works fine, doesn't blow the fuse
