DS3 Windshield Wipers Failure

My 2017 Citroen DS3 gasoline engine has an issue: the windshield wipers aren't working, and there's an error stored. Diagnostics point to a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else had this?

I had a similar wiper issue with my DS3. Do you have a rain sensor? Check its connection; it can interfere with the wiper switch. Also, does your cruise control work? The wiper stalk and cruise control are sometimes linked.

Thanks. Yes, my DS3 has a rain sensor, and I'll check that connection. I haven't checked the cruise control. Could a faulty rain sensor or cruise control really cause the wipers to fail completely?

Yes, it's possible. On my DS3, a faulty connection in either the rain sensor or the cruise control stalk knocked out the wipers completely. I spent ages on fuses and the wiper motor before I realised the problem was elsewhere. I'd advise getting it checked by a workshop; it could save you time and further issues.

Thanks for the info and advice. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I'll take it to a workshop. The estimated repair cost is 95€, which seems reasonable.
