Windscreen wipers

[mattmo]

Hello all

A little help needed. I have managed to burn out my wiper motor on my fiat brava, is it something that is easy to replace if i get the part?

Thanks for your help

Are you sure you've done the motor? Often it's the fuse that blows rather than the wiper motor - and the fuse is a lot easier to replace than the motor! Have a look at the Haynes manual to see how east it is to get at the motor.

Matt if it is your motor, I can give you a very good online shop that'll proved original fiat parts at a lot less than original fiat prices! I can also give you the address of a forum to get all the advice you need on fitting it, as well as any other issues you can think of! PM me if you want them, don't wanna **** the mods off by advertising it here!

I have a Stilo

I'd also suggest having a look round on fleabay for a copy of 'Elearn' for the Bravo/a. It's the workshop program that Fiat use, and as they're replaced with newer versions the older ones pop up.

EDIT: Sorry I should also say that it may not be the motor. It coule be a fuse as Nod says, but could also be the relay, dodgy earth, dosdgy switch, plus some others I've probably missed.

Mods: Can I post the links to the online shop and the fiat forum here?

"Are you sure you've done the motor?" - it was smoking a bit and very smelly

Could be jammed? Or the wiper has come loose from the motor. Does it make any noises like its trying to turn?

Generally pretty easy.

Word of advise. Before fitting everything, plug the motor in, put it on intermittent and turn the ignition off once its gone into park. Then use a tipp-ex pen to mark where the park position is against spindle and wiper body.
