Fiat X250 Ducato windscreen wipers (1 Viewer)

[dixieland]

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for advice on the above before I start investigating. Yesterday when we started the van after 7 days on site the wipers would not work ( washers are ok) . There doesn't seem to be a fuse listed in the Fiat manual. Year 2011 Rapido 776FF. Any ideas?

Should be F43 according to this:

But if the fuse is blown it suggests something wrong elsewhere.

Thanks for that DBK, for 43 my book says windscreen washer (+key) anyway it is not blown.

Here you go, start with fuse 43

 

[dixieland]

43 is not the washers because they still work when I take it out, so my book must be wrong.
So the fuse is not blown but the wipers don't work, What next?

I have been through all the fuses and relays and can find nothing wrong. I would like to disconnect the wiper motor but cannot work out how to release the connector block. Anyone know how?

Just to be doubly sure, have you only checked the fuse visibly or in a fuse tester? Have you tried the wipers with a different fuse in the circuit?

 

[dixieland]

I have tested all fuses in situ with a multimeter. Those listed as to do with wiper/washer system I have removed to test.

Work backwards then, do you have voltage to the fuse if not next to check is relay T12 this supplies voltage to the motor via the fuse (same fusebox)

I have checked voltage at 43 and 12 v appears with ignition on. I have swapped relay T12 with the one next door.

 

[dixieland]

On the other fuse box Cpl1 is good and 12v is present . I also have swapped relay T17 for another. I want to test for 12v at motor but cannot fathom out how to unclip the connector. Thanks lots for your help

Like you said, I would now check if there is power getting to the wiper motor.
Does the connector look like this?

I'm not near my van at the moment but normally just a plastic tab lifts over the corresponding locking tab.

I still cannot disconnect the motor, I am sure it is very simple but room is very restricted and it has to be done by feel. The plug is at right angles to the harness. It could well be like your picture Gellyneck.

This photo may help?
You can see a clip under the plastic shroud.

Check the earth wire

 

[dixieland]

Got it off at last. Have 12 volts between 1&2 and 1&5. Does this mean that wiper motor is burnt out or should I do more tests?. Earth wire where? Surely if I have 12 volts I must have an Earth?

Don't know if this will help?

I have decided that the motor is at fault. I am trying to buy a replacement online from France. Whether I try a uk site or a french site they all seem to quote for oem no 77364080 left hand drive and not 77364111 left hand drive. Any ideas?

 

[dixieland]

Job done . Motor was ordered and posted from UK. Thanks for the help , Jim

you have to push the connector on then squeeze the clip if you pull and squeeze it will not move you can usually here the click when they release
