Renault Clio 2007 rip curl windscreen wipers stopped

[Oliverw2020]

Hello everyone,

Have so far tried a fuse change, removed wipers and checked if anything is seized (motions seem fine) - the motor looks pretty new and clean so we are sure it’s not that either. Anyone have any advice?

Hello everyone,

Nothing first hand from me, but doing a query on a specific renault forum produced this.

It is one of those threads however which go on a bit, probably over complicate matters, and end up unresolved, except at a suck it up and let the dealer loose with a replacement of what is known as the UCH. With an older Renault the expense of this virtually ensures a journey to the scrapyard for the car.

Page 2 of the thread (last post as of now) after the OP decided that it wasn't worth going down the replacement UCH route, another poster had a problem resolved by a replacement of the motor (which had seized/burnt out) and blown a fuse in the engine compartment fuse box.

Hope you find a resolution, I would probably head for RenaultForums.co.uk or Cliosport.net and post your problem there.

As mentioned in the thread, (where there is this link), there are services which can repair UCH should that indeed prove to be the problem. I would be looking for something simpler, electrical connections, relays, wiring continuity,
wiper motor, fuse box. etc.

PS. They like their abbreviations this is what a UCH is...

The UCH (Unite Centrale Habitacle) is an electronic control module that is fitted to many late model Renaults (early 2000's onwards.) It is responsible for controlling many of the non-engine related functions of the car, such as central locking, electric windows, and even some of the lights (e.g. indicators.)

A brand new UCH is supplied with a blank memory. This must be coded (using the Renault Clip computer) to match the serial number of the ECU and key/card before it will work with the car. The memory can only be written once, so a used UCH cannot be taken from a donor vehicle to be used in another unless the ECU and keyfobs/cards are also transferred.
