wipers
Hi have a 2007 ML the front wipers don't operate
But if you turn them on and pull the wiper arms to work you can move them through a sweep
if you turn wiper stalk off they will not move which is write
I tried to read codes with some software but it can only access the engine and stability system all other systems wont communicate with it
Could this be a fault with the front SAM unit
indicators electric windows all work fine
thanks

turned wipers ON they didb1 cycle perfect then nothing
I am thinking either power issue hence why I could move them by hand when turned ON as if not enough power to push motor
could it be a SAM or relay problem ??

Under no circumstances should you be able to manually move the wiper arms, so it is not a power issue. It is the wiper motor or the transmission arms that get attached to it.

I really don't want to disagree with you because I need your help
please think of it this way if you have a slow electric window you can help it up or down with your hands if someone presses the window button
this is the same but its a wiper motor its as if its seized but its not it just needs a kick ie a pull to work through its sweep

Even odder took battery earth off just to let everything settle
reconnected the battery turned ignition On
turned wipers to 1st position they did 2 complete wipes with a small delay then nothing
Checked motor its not hot this must be electrical not mechanical
