Wipers just stopped...

Hi everyone,

Went to pick up the missus today in the pouring rain - wipers working fine. Parked outside her work, sat there for 2 or 3 minutes, went to clear the screen....and nothing.

Had a quick look through the manual, nothing strikes me as a quick fix....if there's a fuse for it then I can't see it. I had a look at the fuses anyway, and although I didn't examine them forensically, they looked alright to me.

It's a 2002 Leon 1.4, standard car..well Signo I think.

Anyone have any quick fix ideas?

Thanks.

Similar thing happened to me, Christmas before last. Wipers were working fine earlier, went to switch them on to drive home and nothing happening. Changing fuse didn't help but after a couple of tries they seemed to spring into life again.

Stopped working again day after so took it to the dealers. They diagnosed a burnt out wiper motor and replaced it (fortunately under warranty)

The wipers packed up on my old Mk4 Ibiza due to the new bonnet switch they'd installed falling off. A quick dab of superglue later and everything was working again. :)

A fuse for the front wipers.....the manual doesn't point to one.

Is this right?
