Help, I am at my wits end, My front wipers have stopped working, along with the wash/wipe, the rear wiper and heating works as normal, I have replaced the Fuse, wiper relay in the engine bay, and the wiper pod itself....Still nothing, Has anyone got any ideas???

TCU in the drivers footwell, controls the dimming of dash lights/interior lights and intermittent wiper feature, if there is a break or burn in one of the tracks, could affect the wipers function as a whole.

Would that interrupt the power getting into the switch?

You need to check to see if some other items are working - post 19 i will guide you to

Have you checked the wiper amplifier near the brake master cylinder fuses on the inner wing?

There should be power at the switch, its power from the switch to the tcu etc, if you have no power to the switch, then likely a relay or fuse

Everything else works fine. Is only the front wiper switch that seems to be an issue.

Becoming disheartened with this.

Ihave replaced that. And replaced the fuse. Cant see any onther relays for the wipers.????

Do you still have your spare zed?

Time to get the volt meter out i guess

I would still try the TCU, i have a spare if you need :thumbup1:

No mate. That went last year. If you feel like popping round for a cuppa and give me a few pointers. Feel free lol

Let me know when youre at home and will pop over, do you still have my number?

I case you don't have them, here are the '96 FSM pages to help trace the problem. They

are easier to read than earlier versions.

So what was the problem?

15amp fuse on the second row from the top, third one in, another fuse looked ok but didnt buzz on a continuity test so changed that too and all fine now.

 

Lovely zed and great paintwork all going to be stunning when hes finished bits here and there :thumbup:
