Peugeot 306 wiper problem

Discussion in 'Peugeot 306' started by Mark Williams, Aug 9, 2009.

    Wipers ground to a halt yesterday.
    Got second hand motor and linkage and all works well except the hi speed
    wipe is not happening.
    When switched to that it's not working at all. All other functions OK, ie
    lo-speed, auto, single wipe.

    Any thoughts?

    Presuming the switch (& relay?) are supplying power to the motor on High,
    then the motor's duff.

  3. Could it be a relay problem?

    I presume the relay will under steering wheel in fuse box on a 306 and not
    anywhere else - presume I could identify which relay by removing relays
    until wipers don't work?

    Yep. You either need a wiring diagram and a multi-meter, or an auto
    electrician. ;-)

    In the absence of those, assuming that speed control is done by offset
    brush, the most likely fault is a sticking brush inside the motor.

    Can you dismantle the original one to get some clues?
