wipers do not turn on

My car is ugly but runs great. It keeps raining so I would like to have working windsheild wipers.


Wipers don't work. All the fuses are good.

Does this thing have a wiper relay? If so where is it?

Also when turn signal works to the right however the left the light stays solid and only buzzes and does not make the ticking noise.

any ideas?

anybody got a wiring diagram?

Thanks
Keith

I had a C230, and one time my wiper didn't work. Apparently the nut came loose and forced the wiper arm off. It was a quick fix.

Although your problem might be electrical, might be worth looking into. You always want to start with the simplest thing first. By checking fuses, that's a step in the right direction.

If I were you, I will juice up the wiper motor just to make sure you are not dealing with bad wiper motor
