Skoda Scala Wiper Problem
Summary of the thread
The windshield wipers on a 2023 Skoda Scala are non-functional, with a diagnostic scan indicating an error related to the wiper switch. The issue is suspected to be due to a defective cable or plug connection, possibly linked to the turn signal/wiper motor. A suggestion was made to check the wiring harness, which was confirmed as the problem upon inspection at a workshop. The issue was resolved by repairing the defective wiring harness.

Thanks for the suggestion. Where exactly should I be looking for this wiring harness? Is it easily accessible, or will I need to remove interior panels?

On the Volvo, it was hidden behind a trim panel near the top of the tailgate opening. It's likely similar on the Scala. However, given the error code and your initial assessment, it might be best to take it to a workshop and get it checked.

Appreciate the insight. Took it to the workshop, and as suspected, a defective wiring harness was the culprit. Cost me 95€ to resolve.

Experienced similar wiper issues on my old Volvo V70. Have you checked the wiring harness where it passes from the body to the tailgate? Those wires can fatigue and break, causing intermittent or complete failures.
