    Windshield Wipers Problem

    My windshield wipers have been broken for about a year. I replaced the wiper motor about 6 months ago and they still didnt work. I thought that it could be the relay or the switch in the car, so I replaced the relay and nothing happened. The switch in the car controls the wiper fluid no problem, so Im sure its not the switch. Any other suggestions?

    fuse!
    The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

        Just because the wiper switch will operate the washers doesn't mean that the switch or its wiring is good.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          Hmm. So I should replace the switch or the wiring itself. It sounds like both could have problems

            Using the wiring diagrams from http://wedophones.com/BMWManualsLead.htm you can ohm out the wiring to see if it is the cause of the problem. And using those diagrams you can test the switch.
