Talisman Windshield Wipers Failure

My 2020 Renault Talisman diesel, with 215126 km, has dead windshield wipers. The car throws an error code related to the wiper motor circuit. I suspect a dodgy cable or connector. Has anyone else wrestled with this?

I know those cars. Before you go too deep, have you checked the basics? Is the turn signal working fine? Sometimes a fault in the stalk assembly can mess with the wipers. Also, is the wiper motor getting power?

The turn signals are working perfectly, so that's probably not it. I haven't had a chance to properly test the wiper motor for power yet. Did your wipers just quit suddenly, or was there any warning?

Mine quit suddenly, one rainy morning. I messed with it for a day, checked the fuses, looked for obvious wiring damage. Eventually, I gave up and took it to a workshop. It was a corroded connector at the motor. They cleaned it up and all was fine. They billed me 95€ for the hassle. Save yourself the headache and take it in.

Okay, that's the confirmation I needed. Sounds like I'm chasing a connector gremlin. I appreciate you sharing your experience! Looks like a trip to the shop is in order.
