Hi Folks.

I've searched the forum, and the WWW and can't find an answer although can find a lot of people with similar problem.

Basically the rear wiper on my S210 Facelift has stopped working. I don't think it's the motor.

Switch still illuminates, washer still works (without wiping :-( )

Any one solved this?

Cheer!
 
Mine stopped working.

While checking I noted that I could hear it trying to operate. I gave it a nudge when it was trying and hey presto, it's worked ever since.
 
I had the problem on my 210 last week. Undo the motor (7-8 screws) and you'll possibly find that where the arm sweeps there is some mild corrosion.
Plenty of WD40 at first and then rub down the corroded area with wet/dry. Then a general clean up and grease aplenty before reassembly.
 
my 202 of similar vintage had a loose relay inside the bootlid.... probably from repeated slammings due to knackered boot gas struts.
 
Cheers guys. Turned it on and gave it some gentle encouragement this morning and so far so good! Happy days!!
 
Bump for s210virgin
