Front wiper problem

Post by lou9890 » Mon Aug 05, 2013 7:12 pm

Could I please ask some advice. About 3 weeks ago my front wipers just stopped working and then about 15 mins later they just started working again. Same problem today on the m25 the heavens opened and went use the wipers and they wouldn't move in any position or speed. 30 mins later they just randomly started to work.
The rear wipers work fine.
Can anyone please advise what this might be.

Could be a switch fault or a connectivity issue at the motor end perhaps?  You could meter the wires at the motor end and see if the voltage is getting to the motor end.  Intermittent faults are always a pain to find and often needs wires waggled, connections moved and cleaned and being a contortionist to get at everything.... :(
