my front wipers do not work at all...its not the fuses....also the washers only go for 3seconds then stop if i take the fuse out then put it back in.....brought another moter and tried but its not that.Is there a command relay somewhere or could it be the stalk on the steering column.

Thee back wipers work fine

Take off the pellenium cover under the windscreen and have a look if the wiper arms move or not. When you turn them on do you hear any sound coming from the motor ?

Hello Neil,

Probably barking up wrong trees, but I believe the wipers won't work if the bonnet is open. Yes, I know it will be said it was closed when you tried them! - but does the (possibly faulty) "bonnet closed" switch/sensor know that? As I said, probably totally wrong, but might be worth giving the bonnet a good slam when shutting.

A more plausible cause? Others more knowledgeable on this model than I am will no doubt confirm/refute that the wipers are controlled by a body control unit/module (BCU/M) and this may be faulty. Someone? -  Does replacing the wiper motor dictate reprogramming so the BCU recognises the replacement unit?

Just some food for thought.

As with many of these things, it is often more economical ( say in comparison with buying a replacement motor) to invest in the services of an auto electrician for a couple of hours. 

Good luck in getting it sorted.

Kind regards,

Gareth.
