Phevor Member 124 Member For: 19y 4m 4d Location: Melbourne Posted 09/02/08 01:46 AM Share Posted 09/02/08 01:46 AM My BA MkII windscreen wipers died while I driving home last night, just when it started to shower. I've checked the wiper fuse, all good and tried replacing and still no go. I checked the wiper bolts, all good. There's no sound or turning noise when wipers are on. I'm a bit baffled as they were working fine days beforehand. Is there anything else suggested to check/try beforehand? Car is still under warranty and is due for a service so is this my only option?Thanks.. Phevor!

The Ford guys will be able to diagnose it a bit better though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42502-wipers-died-any-other-options/#findComment-632010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 100 km/h in light rain you usually don't need wipers.Is available in a washer additive as well Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42502-wipers-died-any-other-options/#findComment-632188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good stuff!Any auto store will sell it.

Well apart from the seat-belt that doesn't retract well.... Not that that's a big problem, who wants to be held into a seat if it's an accident to be had. Ya bound to either fly out the window (through the already broken wipers) or smash ya head into the wheel and hopeful airbags! I'm gonna go pick up some more RainX as I've run out. It's great stuff though for driving in the rain but it's not often I'm driving high speeds through the city. It still helps at low speed driving but wipers WOULD be handy!
