Subject: Re: c900 windshield washer: mystery deepens


Hi, The problem is in one of the headlight wiper motor, most probably not the switch or relay. The headlight wiper motor has a diode that prevents the current from supply to enter the washer/wiper system - if the diode is burned (e.g. it's continuous) one gets symptoms as you describe. There is a website describing how to R&R the motor assembly - it's for 9k but I think the motor assembly & wiring is about the same... http://www.nospam/procedures/electrical/headlampwiperepair.html Quick solution is to detach the wire harness of the wiper motor(s) in the motor end. Hope this helps,,,, SuoTimo _______________________________ John B wrote: > > Hi all, > I posted a few days ago that my windshield wipers/washer had started running > constantly, and were only stopped when I pulled the headlamp wiper fuse (#8; > the car is a 1992).
