Viano Windshield Wipers Not Working

I had a similar problem with the windshield wipers on my Vito. It was like the wiper motor had a mind of its own. I'm no expert, but it was something with the wiring harness. Think of it like a garden hose with a kink – the electricity can't flow properly to the wiper motor. You might want to check the connections and wiring near the steering column and the wiper motor itself. Did you check the error code?

You mentioned a problem with the wiring harness. Could you elaborate on the specific location of the issue? Was it near the steering column or closer to the wiper motor itself? The error code indicated a general fault within the wiper system, but it wasn't very specific. Could the rain sensor also be a possible source of the problem?

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure about the precise location. It was a while ago, and I ended up taking it to a workshop. I'd recommend you do the same. They pinpointed the issue quickly. It's probably best to get it checked out by a professional, especially if the error code isn't specific. It could be the rain sensor, but it's hard to say without proper diagnosis.

I appreciate your assistance. I took your advice and brought the Viano to a workshop. It turned out that a connector on the steering column was indeed corroded. They cleaned the contacts, and the windshield wipers are now functioning correctly. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
