Wiper stalk problems, can you help?

Hi all,
As a newbie here I have tried to search the forum to see if anyone else has this problem.
we have a 2005 C200 CDI Saloon and have a problem with the wipers.

They will not operate when turning but they will operate when you push the stalk in to operate once or to put fluid on the screen. I have checked the fuse box info and it appears there is only 1 fuse for the wipers.

Are we right in thinking we need a new stalk or is there an easier fix.

All help would be appreciated as we wil have to get an MOT on the car very soon.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Mp3clarki,

I don't know because I've never been on the co.uk site, but I bet they are the same. There are people from all over the world who post here.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem (though it does sound like a new switch i.e. stalk, is needed).

Good luck and welcome to MBWorld!
