C Klasse Windshield Wipers Not Working

My 2003 C Klasse with a gasoline engine has dead windshield wipers. The diagnostic says cable or plug connection defective. Mileage 52627 km. Has anyone seen this? Could it be the wiper motor?

I had similar symptoms in my C Klasse. Check the combination switch. It controls the car wipers, turn signal, and cruise control. A faulty switch can cause intermittent or complete failure of the windshield wipers.

Combination switch you say? Where is that located?

It is on the steering column. Disconnecting the connector and performing a continuity test of the wiring harness may reveal the cause. You will need access to wiring diagrams. Otherwise, a workshop will likely swiftly resolve the issue.

Thanks. A shop fixed it for 95€. It was indeed a defective plug connection.
