When I bought my E30 the PO said the wipers were working the day before, but clearly didn't when I bought it as they didn't react at all, they just didn't move. So i read the forums and went through all the standard steps.
I replaced the relay, I bench tested the motor and it spins when 12V is applied directly from the battery. I then tested the clip and it read ~12V when I touched the pin with the red/black wire regardless of which position the wiper stalk was in. I then connected the clip back to the motor, it spun for a second and then stopped and hasn't done that again and I haven't been able to replicate it. Any suggestions on what to try next or if anyone has experienced this before I'd love to hear what you did.
