Mokka Wiper Failure

My 2014 Vauxhall Mokka (diesel) with 118074 km has a wiper switch problem. Windshield wipers are non-functional, and an error is stored in memory. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection.

I once had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. The wipers just stopped working. Have you checked the wiring harness around the steering column and the wiper motor plug connection itself? Sometimes those connections can become loose or corroded.

Thanks for the suggestion. Which wiring harness specifically on your Megane gave you trouble? Was it also throwing any turn signal issues?

On the Megane, it was the main wiring harness going into the steering column. The car didn't show turn signal issues, but because the wiper and turn signal stalk are linked, I’d still check there first before assuming it's the motor. If it’s not obvious, I suggest a workshop.

Thanks. I had the wiring harness checked. Indeed a faulty connection. Repair cost was 95€. All sorted now.
