DS3 Rear wiper

Unread post by Woodwardnat »

Hey guys.

I have just recently just bought a DS3 the rear wiper originally seems slow.. After using the washer on the rear window (so basically adding water) the wiper ran smooth.

After this the wiper won't stop no matter what position.

Can any one advise on the best course of actions to diagnose this..

It could be anything from the wiper motor, the CAN control, BSI or Fusebox connection etc., but first try a BSI reset:

I have done a BSI reset or at least I think I have took a while to locate what I thought was the negative terminal.

Can you tell me what this fuse is.. I haven't removed it but it looks corroded so if I know what it is I can remove check and change of required.

So far the rear wiper seems to be staying still

Although normally a close up is good, can you provide a photo zoomed out so I can determine exactly which area this is, along with the VIN which I need for correct electrical data (please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff).
