Skoda Octavia Windshield Wipers Not Working

My 2015 Skoda Octavia diesel has decided it doesn't want to wipe anymore. Windshield wipers are completely dead. I've got an error stored, but haven't had a chance to properly diagnose it yet. My gut says it's a dodgy cable or plug connection. Anyone else had issues with their car wipers on an Octavia?

I may be able to provide some insight. I own a Skoda Octavia as well. I encountered a similar issue concerning the windshield wipers some time ago. The wipers ceased functioning entirely, despite my best efforts. Have you had any issues with the rain sensor?

Interesting, was it completely dead as well? Or did it work intermittently? Did you also get an error message?

Indeed, the wipers were completely unresponsive. I did observe an error message displayed on the instrument panel. Given your expertise, it appears you have already formulated a hypothesis regarding the potential cause. In my estimation, it would be judicious to consult with a qualified mechanic at a reputable workshop. They possess the requisite tools and expertise to accurately diagnose and rectify the underlying issue.

Took it to the shop, and it was a faulty plug connection as suspected. 95€ later and my car wipers are working again! Thanks for the tip!
