Seat Alhambra Wiper Problem

I'm having trouble with the windshield wipers on my 2001 Seat Alhambra with a gasoline engine. They're completely dead, but the fuses are good. There's an error stored in the memory, and the car has 177305 km on it. Could this be a bad wiper switch, or should I be looking at the wiring? I suspect a bad cable or plug. I've heard the repair might be around 95€. Also, the cruise control isn't working.

I had a similar issue with my Alhambra where the wipers just quit. Have you checked the wiper motor fuse? Could be a simple fix.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked the fuses and they look fine. Did you also have an error message stored? And did your cruise control or turn signal fail at the same time?

Yes, I also had an error message. If the fuse is okay and there's an error code, it's likely more than just a fuse. I can't say for sure about the cruise control, but it could be related as they sometimes share wiring. A workshop check is probably best.

The workshop traced it to a faulty wiring harness leading to the wiper switch. Replacement fixed everything, including the cruise control and turn signal. The repair set me back 95€, which was what I expected.
