2001 c32 wipers not working

A quick search didn't reveal anything??

My wipers have just given up!!! the fuse is OK, does some knowledgeable fella have an idea as to which relay controls the wiper operation???

Couldn't have happened at a worst time ,we are getting some really heavy rain right now!

Any help at all gratefully received.

Most likely is that you have a dead wiper motor. Do a quick search on google under "C32 wiper motor" and some websites will pop up. They usually go for around $130. It is not hard to replace and you can do it yourself. Just take off the plastic cover where the wipers are and you will see the motor. Good luck

Another thing I would try first is just disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes to see if there was a glitch or a short somewhere and it may fix it.
