Intermittent rear wiper

Postby Matttjuk » Fri Mar 26, 2021 6:04 pm

Rather random rear wiper on my 2014 tourneo.

When you first get in and start up, the rear wiper will work fine, when you drive off and after a minute or so it'll stop working.

Now re shutting the rear door sometimes gets it working again so I'm guessing there a dodgy wire or two in the loom where the rubber boot is in the top left corner, is there a technique to getting the boot bit off?

Cheers

Update

Turns out the motor itself had a dodgy connection, stripped it and think its sorted

It failed again so stripped a 2nd time

Turns out it was running dry, hardly any grease in it so the motor was obviously overheating and stopping.

Good spray with copper grease and it's working perfectly
