Skoda Karoq Wiper Problem

My 2019 Skoda Karoq with a gasoline engine has a wiper problem. They just stopped working. Mileage is at 179850 km. The error memory says the cable or plug connection of the component is defective. Any ideas?

Whoa, no wipers is a serious safety issue! First thing I'd check is the fuse for the wiper motor. Have you had a look at that yet? It could be a simple fix before diving deeper into the steering column or the wiper switch itself. Also, does the cruise control work? Sometimes those systems are linked.

I checked the fuses, they seem fine. Cruise control is working. Could it still be the wiper switch if the cruise control is ok? Where exactly should I look for the cable or plug connection?

Hmm, if the cruise control works, that does make it less likely to be a complete failure of something in the steering column area, but not impossible. A faulty wiper switch could still be the culprit, or a broken wire between the switch and the wiper motor. Finding the exact cable and plug without proper tools and knowledge is tough. You might be better off taking it to a workshop to avoid causing more damage. The error code points to a wiring issue, which can be tricky to diagnose.

It was a defective cable at the wiper switch. The workshop replaced it, and now everything is working. Cost me 95€ Thanks for your help
