Wipers no longer working
« on: May 06, 2016, 07:42:10 pm »
Fitted depo headlights with hid kit, blown the wiper motor as expected, changed the motor today but still won't work, the wiper motor will work however if a direct feed is put to it.
Any ideas??

You need to go into vcds central electrics (9) and click into coding and then the long coding helper wheel one of the bytes will have something that says xenons with shutters off and check the box press enter on laptop and then X exit the box and then save coding and replace any blown fuses too.

Remember the Bonnet needs to be closed when working the wipers!

Seriously starting to fall out with my golf now, got it back from paint shop today & fitted new wiper motor as it blew from fitting hid kit, the wipers still don't work even with removing hid kit and replacement motor!!

Maybe you've done worse damage than you think.

Check for power to the motor?. Stalk could be faulty?.

On VCDS it says no comms with wiper motor.

I have spoke to TPS and given them the part number of the 2nd hand motor I have fitted & they say its different to the one that is listed for my car so ordered a brand new one off them just incase.

With an electrical probe there is a constant live feed there at the motor plug (Think it was a white/red wire)

One thing I did notice was on the BCM under the drivers side dash there was a white relay that was getting quite warm.

I did type bcm in my last post but deleted it as I wasn't sure if the wiper has a reply or not. Ask tps if they do a wiper relay for the car and if they do that Mayne the answer to your woes.

Looks like the VW specialist may have found the problem with the wipers, they say it all points to the body control module.
There is a feed from the switch, the car recognises the bonnet is closed, all fuses / relays are ok.
The module is seeing the feed but not sending it to the wipers.
