Clio 172 Merc ML55
Afternoon all, bought the Mrs a 2009 mk3 1.2 tce (last if the pre facelift) yes I know it's not a sport, as a work hack, since buying the intermittent/auto wiper has never worked. I know the wiper stalks have a history of burning/melting but I don't think that's happened as all other functions work perfectly.
The intermittent/auto setting will work once but then nothing, it will again work for one wipe if you adjust the time delay. The auto function does however work if sat stationary in traffic with wipers set to constant.
I've checked fuses, wiring, taken the linkage apart and checked pretty much everything I can think of, even checked voltage to plug through the various settings, when set to intermittent/auto there doesn't appear to be power to the motor (except for the initial wipe)
Do the wiper stalks have a history of breaking up inside? Or am I missing something obvious
Thanks as always
