Wipers (and Tis Disks)

[SirToppamHat]

I wrote a post on here a while back explaining that I had had some difficulty with the wipers on my Y Reg Galaxy 1.9TDI. On that occasion, I thought the motor had failed, but found that the control unit was virtually under water. Drying it out resolved the problem, and I wanted others to try that first before being ripped-off for a new motor/control unit.

 

Well I've had the same problem again, but this time I may have a more expensive difficulty.

 

First check was the 30A fuse, which was fine. I have dismantled and removed the wiper motor and control assembly; I can't believe how easy it was to take the pieces apart and put back together. I understand that they are not available separately - typical Ford! Anyway, connecting the motor direct to the battery reveals no problem (in either direction), and there is no sign of damage to the control unit, so my next step is to check the output to the motor.

 

I have tried to load my (1982) TIS disk, but it doesn't work with Win XP. I have secured a later one (2004), but this won't be here for a few days, and you will appreciate that I am in abit of a rush to get the lady back on the road.

 

Could anyone out there be kind enough to let me know what the output valtages should be in the various wiper configarations.

 

I've been offered a (Genuine New) motor and control unit for

Following-on from that last request, has anyone managed to obtain the control unit separately from the actual motor?
