F$%king Windscreen Wipers

Mazdabater · 04-07-2011, 02:04 AM

So remember how I was trying to rebuild my wiper switch. Well I just got a new one and put it in the car and the wipers still only go on one speed. Also the rear wiper doesn't work. On a side note when I got the car I swapped in the switch out of my s5 that was working and it only ran on one speed then, shoulda caught on back then.

Took the car in for RWC and need to take it back there tomorrow if I want this car gone this weekend.

I'm going to run out and swap the motor out of my s5 as it's off the road and I can chase up a new one later. But is there anything else it could be incase this doesn't work? Every thread I have ever read has always turned out with it being the wiper relay

Nevermind I'm going to go find the previous owner and punch him in the fucking mouth. Pulled the window motor out of my s5 went to install it and noooo there is a wire unplugged from the wiper motor plug with a bit of tape over the end. Plug it back in and what a suprise my wipers work properly. So that means I brought another switch for no fucking reason!

Working switches fetch a premium. You may get your money back if you list it again.
