On a 2004 mercede C240 the auto wiper is not auto anymore. The wipers will not turn on in any position. I can get the wiper wash and wiper to work when pushing the button. How to trouble shoot? Thanks Tanya
how to repair a window motor on a 380sl mercedes
You need to remove the wiper motor and linkage assembly. Then disconnect the motor from the linkage, and turn on the wipers, to see if the motor is running or not. Then when you have the linkage out, manaully move back and forth to see if its binding or not. Usually a bad motor. Unfortunately, MB seems to have many problems with the wiper blade motors.
about 200 quid
More than likely the problem is the transmission that needs to be replaced
a bad fuse, control module (that little thing you use to turn on your wipers), or the windshield wiper motor is bad.
you access the fan blower by removing the windshield wiper motor from the outside of the car.
under the hood.. by the windshield wipers.. it blows in .. doesn't suck through.
it is in the back right corner, in front of the drivers side....tucked under the dash
More information please. Which part of the system. The wipers? The wiper arms? The linkage conecting the wiper arms to the motor? The motor? The windshield washers? Windshield washer pump? Etc? Please be more specific.
For what type of motor?
replace the pulse board on wiper motor which is a black cover
under sterring column remove the 2 covers you will see 3 nuts and linkage remove and pull motor out from engine bay
