Title: Rear wiper not doing the 'One Wipe' function when Auto Wipers are on??
Post by: AjayB on December 12, 2011, 08:56:06 pm: My rear wiper used to do a 'One Wipe' when the windscreen wipers had been activated by the rain, now it doesn't do it? any idea's? I did get a New Central Electronics Module from Darren (morty) a few months ago, so i'm wondering if the setting might have been deactivated on his? (Hopefully he's around to answer)

Cheers guys.

Yeah thats what i meant dude, sorry forget to mention that! When i go into reverse nothing happens with the rear wiper, but it used to. It was a feature i found really handy!!!!

Given the issue starting happening when the CEM was changed I'd have thought its a coding issue more than a physical issue with the motor. Assuming the wiper still works when you manually flick the switch of course.
