'99 328 Windscreen Wipers Intermittently Cutting Out
Hi,
I have a 1999 BMW 328 Saloon (in the United Kingdom) and recently, I've had a strange problem with the windscreen wiper and windscreen washer intermittently cutting out for no apparent reason. This has only happened twice, but the first time was on a motorway in heavy rain, which was quite frightening. Basically, I am driving along, with the windscreen wipers on, and suddenyl without warning, they return to the "off" position on the windscreen, and stay there. If I try moving the column to any of the windscreen wiper settings, or pull it towards me for the washer fluid, then nothing happens. And then suddenly, it all starts working again. The first time, it stopped working for about 5 minutes, the second (about three weeks later) it stopped for about 30 seconds. I have a rain sensor, and recently had the windscreen replaced because of a crack - could this be related in some way? If anyone has any idea what might be causing this, then I'd be very interested to know. Thanks, Darren. |
