My wipers don't work

My wipers don\'t work

Seems odd as the switch lights up and there is 12v going to the motors but no action. Am I just unlucky that all three motors have packed up or am I missing something?



My boat is here in time for winter....

Re: My wipers don\'t work

My wipers don't work at beginning of season until I switch them on and go outside and give them a bit of manual "Assistance" and a good dose of WD40, then they gradually start to move and speed up.
Probably not been used for a long time and rusted.

There was no earth,cable gave up , replaced and miracle little motor that makes lots of noise but quite useful when your in to the wind and its raining or just little waves decide to break on the boat..

Re: self park

Shoebox AND you're complaining!

You know nothing. Like Haydn, I still have to park each one of our 3 wipers manually.

And you're complaining about only 14 in a shoebox, some people don't know how lucky they are. And convenient in the middle of the road, Lord what is the world coming to!

Re: self park

I say shoebox, it was really a paper bag but I didn't want people to mock.

Re: self park

Nearly all my concentration is used up, on swiching three wipers on off. Just when you think you've had the last wave over the top or it's stopped raining. Then the windows are all splattered again. Course you have to manualy park them as well. Thats usualy achieved on the third attempt. So a full time job really. Good job the auto pilot is mended. Tother problem is. Window washers. Why is the button at arms length in most difficult to reach position.

Re: Washers

Well we've more or less given up on the washers tried all sort to clean the jets out, only give a dribble after an age anyway and can't be "a**ed" to replace them.

So, gosh ain't you lucky - yours work

Re: Washers

But only two of them. There is not enough dribble left for the third!
