Wipers

Postby loot » Fri Mar 09, 2018 9:41 pm

I've asked before but can't find it.

Any of you custom owners experienced crazy wipers? My left 1 often parks up in the air against the left side of the screen, I reset it to bring it back to park out unless it senses rain and wipes again, it doesn't always do it but does it enough to be annoying.
Also it'll bounce up and down in the park position under the drivers wiper which doesn't.

I haven't found any setting to calibrate it but I only have ids v96 working.

Anyone seen any wiper settings in later ids? (Although it should be there on v96 as most other functions work) :(

Bloody Ford.

:P

Mine played up a couple of weeks ago
The drivers one kept going past the screen and over the door pillar
All the way to Nottingham and back in the rain too
Hasn't done it since though :?

Driver 1 is ok on mine I replaced the passenger 1 complete as the van was crashed and I saw 1 so bought it in cade mine was fubar, made no difference though.
Someone said something about dots to line it up with but I really don't know Lol.
Sometimes the wipers do a little dance and swap over as if to be calibrating themselves but they never go to far or hit, just the left 1 is bonkers :x

I've had to adjust them each time the windscreen was replaced, so 5 times. I just take the arms off, switch the wipers on then off and turn the ignition off when they move down to the park position after a few seconds then fit the arms on lined up on the reference marks printed on the windscreen. You just have make sure not to move the spindle when you fit the arms.

So do the marks on the screen have any relevance? Do they sense the location or are they literally for the installers reference?

My wipers sweep perfectly in line and don't hit anything.
