So, I recently purchased a 2012 S350 Bluetec that was hit in the front and fixed everything from the ground up. I have clocked over 120 hours and well over $20,000 in parts fixing this eventually beautiful car. Anyway, I have everything done except ONE THING!!!, I was driving this vehicle the other day and the wipers were working (in the rain even was using both the rain sensor and the automatic function); however, the passenger side wiper seemed to not be adjusted properly and seemed to whip or snap near the end of its path. I believed this was due to the wipers not being adjusted properly because I had to replace the windshield and had to take the wipers on and off. I figured I would just take the wipers back off and re-adjust them. The next day I went to drive the car again and the wipers would not work altogether, including the washers. I checked all the fuses, re-adjusted the wiper blades, and even did the factory reset, and checked the power to both motors, which it had. All to no avail. I do not want this car to beat me I have figured out way harder stuff on this car but am stumped here. Please if anyone could give me some ideas on what to do next. RATHER THAN THE DEALER! It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all your other posts on this site guys, really helped me get through a lot of problems. If you need help on a W221 btw, I am here I know a lot!

P.S. I was thinking maybe I did the wrong factory reset on the wipers. I do not believe anything to be wrong with the Front SAM, the wiper switch, or the motors, due to the fact that this car only has 20k miles.

Not sure about the wipers as I would have checked the same things you already have but kudos on putting that thing back together.

If you have power to the motors and they are not turning... Confirm motors are good?

So after two days I finally figured it out, I feel pretty stupid actually. I took the car out for a drive last night and the wipers started to work again. I think all that needed to happen was the car needed to be driven for a minute or less and the wipers start working. Don't I feel stupid.... Well at least it fixed my problem too bad whenever I fix one problem on this car it seems like another appears. Now I have the blindspot in-op problem, which I fixed, it went away, now it came back lol.
