Problems with windshield wipers and headlight cleaning system in Citroen Berlingo model year 2002

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Citroen Berlingo 2002. The windshield wipers and the headlight cleaning system are not working properly. I suspect that it could be due to a fault in the windshield wiper switch. Has anyone had similar experiences and can give me specific tips to narrow down the problem? I am particularly interested in how the problem was solved in the workshop. Thanks in advance!

Hey, I had a similar problem with my 2004 Citroen C3 Picasso. Although I have little experience with cars, I took the car to my local garage. The mechanic said that the cable connection to the steering column switch was faulty. The repair cost me 155 euros. So it could be that you have a similar problem. Could you perhaps tell us a bit more about your situation? For example, do you notice the problem when driving in the rain or when driving at night? The more information you give me, the better I might be able to help you.

Hey, thanks for your quick reply. Yes, the problem mainly occurs when I'm driving in the rain or at night. But it's good to know that it could also be due to the cable connection. Maybe I should have it checked at the garage after all. By the way, my Berlingo has only just clocked up 75652 kilometers and the last service was recently. Thanks for the tip though, I'll see what they say at the garage.

No problem, you're welcome. If it occurs mainly in the rain or at night, it could definitely be an electrical problem. It might be worth checking that out. Poor cable connections can lead to all sorts of weird problems. It worked wonders on my old Picasso to fix that. Your Berlingo's mileage is still pretty low, so I wouldn't necessarily expect any major problems. But as you say, a check at the garage never hurts. They'll be able to diagnose the problem accurately. You could ask them to check the cable connections in particular. I hope this helps and you can solve the problem soon. Good luck with that!

Hello, your support is really great! That makes sense with the cable connection, I'll definitely take that up with the garage. Your words reassure me that my Berlingo could still have many kilometers ahead of it despite the problem. I hope that the mechanics will find a simple and inexpensive solution. But I now know what to look out for and that's what matters. Thank you so much, you've really helped me! I'll let you know when the problem is solved. See you then and all the best!
