OK, ok I get it, I need a bently.



Gotcha, thanks for the follow up



Ill get it when I get my paycheck, which is next week. Or maybe Silence/forced Firebird has a spare copy for less:o

Now your seeing the light ;)

You are most welcome, and maybe he does!!! I know the manuel has saved me HOURS of time narrowing down issues.

Mine does the same, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. What's causing this, a short?

the motor is probably bad.

i replaced mine on my old eta, wasn't really fun at all.

but O.P check the Fuse first. could be that simple.

[Quadrajet]

It could be as simple as the connector at the motor got disconnected. My 318iS was like that when I purchased it.

I was hoping this thread would be about an intermittent problem like mine.

I thought it was surprisingly easy. the blower motor was way friggn' harder. wiper motor was an hour taking it easy.

I had this problem on 2 of the E30's i had, both times it was the wiper switch. Try playing with the switch moving it in different directions and see if the wipers kick on, i used to wiggle mine back and forth and up and down to get the wipers to work until i was able to get a good switch to replace it with.

Well sadly, its a no go:(

I wiggled the switch, swapped the relay, and the fuse. I banged on it a little to try to get it unstuck, but to no avail. Then I put it on the slow setting and tried moving it by hand at the same time. I could hear it trying, but its dead

Well, guess I'd have to go through some more pain sooner or later. Should I go for that DTM look with a mono wiper? I kinda like it, but I wont center it in the center, Ill keep it low. Or should I stick with the double?

[nando]

removing the linkage is an ungodly PITA. try replacing the motor first.

[bimmer_E30]

Did it work before? mine was actually making a burning smell and died slowly then finally gave up :/
