Help, Please! Front Wipers N/w, Rear Working But Not Squirting?

[Guest Sazere]

Help...

 

My front wipers won't work, you move the stalk and nothing at all happens. If you try the rear wipers they work but you cannot squirt water. I have tried replacing the stalk but still nothing happens (assumed it was a faulty switch/stalk as same thing happened on my 2003 fiesta).

 

I don't know what to try next! I rang Ford c/s as the galaxy is two weeks out of warranty but they don't want to know. I rang the local Ford dealer (who have worked on the car previously) and they want

hi,

have you checked ALL of the fuses, my wipers played up and a fuse for a seemingly unrelated sysytem had blown, but when replaced wipers worked again!

also fuse identification card in car was wrong...????

 

may be worth a search on seized wipers also

 

hope it helps

Sazere,

 

just to let you know - you can change just the motor if necessary. i think your mechanic must be taking about the actual wiper linkage which they only sell as a complete unit. i have recently had to renew mine as it seized almost without warning...during a downpour ofcourse! i think fords charge about

Hi Radiotwo,

 

Yes, I have checked the fuses all fine!

 

Also just want to confirm there is no noise from the motor.

Hi sazere

by no noise from the motor, do you mean when you try to squirt water? can you squirt water on the front screen?
