help...wipers...wiring diagram

[tbrent]

I am in the process of trying to sort out why my wipers quit. Winter you know, like to have em.
I have power to the motor, presumably for the park position, but get no power from other contacts. Fuses are good, rear wiper works. Tried driving home backwards, but the cops dont like it.
Does any one know if they are controlled by the bc1? had that changed about a year ago, all still does not work right.
Can any one email me a wiring diagram relating to the wiper circut, or even better, come over and fix the damn thing.
Dealer? Yeah right. Those idiots aren't worth the powder to .....well.

Thanks in advance for any help....2002 MINI Crapper

It will be the wiper motor -the intermal contact burns ,it is repairable but you have to take it out to clean up the contact inside

I have the motor out. i opened it up to look for that, the contacts seem to be fine. Should i have power at the plug at more than one pin during switch operation, or does it feed power back to the switch?

With the motor out and determining the contacts were good, I decided to rotate the contact gear, plug the motor back in to see if it would return to the park position. I did this by removing the two 7mm bolts which secure the motor to the gear housing. At this point I discovered the motor hac siezed. When I got it apart I found there had been a slight bit of moisture in the motor. No mystery here considering where it is located, and no sealant used on the motor can. I also noticed there was abloutly no grease in the reat bushing.
Cleaned it up, pluged it in, and WALAH.

Now I have to put the whole damn car back together. I hate things made in France. Couldn't they have gone to a quality company? say...one in China
