Hi,
wiper motor was working OK, then just stopped. Car is a 99V 1.4 LX.
Checked 30A fuse and it had blown. If you disconnect the wiper motor and replace fuse it doesn't blow. As soon as you re-connect the wiper motor it blows again.
Been told that there is a common wiper motor fault that Peugeot's suffer from and this is caused by a built in resistor to going faulty. Any thoughts on this?
Found this repair on the Net.
"A cheap repair without replacing the motor is to use a 15 ohm (50 watt) wirewound resister available from either Maplin.co.uk or a electrical repair store.
To repair solder a length of wire to each end of the resistor and seal the soldered joint with some heat shrink sleeving , connect one end to the grey wire and the other to the black wire on the wiper motor harness making sure both are well insulated."
Anybody used this repair or is it just a case of replace the motor?
Hope you can help/advise.
