Ecosport Windshield Wipers Not Working

Windshield wipers on my 2009 Ford Ecosport diesel have stopped. Fuses are fine, but the error memory has a wiper system error. Any ideas?

Could be a few things. Did you check the wiper motor itself? Or the connection to the steering column? Sometimes those plugs come loose. Does your Ecosport have a rain sensor?

I haven't checked the motor directly. Where's the plug to the steering column located? I'll check that first. I don't think it has a rain sensor.

The plug is usually near the base of the steering column, where the wiper switch wiring goes in. If it's not that, and with the error code, it might be a defective cable or connection somewhere in the system. Probably best to get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks. I checked the plug but everything seems ok. I'll take it to the workshop next week. They quoted me around 95€ to repair the cable or plug connection, so hopefully, that fixes it!
