Wipers and door mirrors
Hi all,
Was out in the celeb the other day and couldn't get the wipers to work. As everything else seemed fine, I assumed it was the fuse.
Had a wee look today and realised that none of the stalk functions are working, wipers, washers and rear wipers.
Checked fuse 6 as the kid says and fuse 9, I'm think it was. And both fine. Tried new ones anyway, but nothing.
I also noticed that the rear view mirrors are not adjusting also.
Thoughts? Other things to try?
Cheers

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
If nothing on the stalk is working, and there’s not a fuse gone, it could be the stalk itself.
Doesn’t explain the mirrors of course….

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
Thank you,
They could be random coincidences.
Having a wee look at the instructions on the cem diagnostic, see if I can work it out.

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
That is odd, mine played up yesterday only the wipers all went on simultaneously with no stopping them, which means a new CEM is in order, however your problem could be related to the stalks methinks...
Current Jobs to do (23/1/22):
Fix Central Locking
Fix drivers side speaker
Annoying Scratching Squeak
Water leaks
Complete Front O/S rebuild

Without checking I think they must be random coincidence.
Wipers are CEM controlled but it could well be the stalk - I have a spare if you want ind to try. Mirrors...have you disturbed the centre trim round the handbrake?

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
Sorry, its been a wee while.
Checked all my fuses and all seemed OK.
I managed to work out a bit of the self test, I had no position 4!
I managed to put it through the full cycle and the both sets of wipers and the washers work , so it must be the stalk, hopefully.
Does anyone have one?
Thanks,
John

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
Replacement stalk received, cleaned and fitted - Still nothing.
Had another look at the fuses and both seemed fine.
Took the relays under the bonnet out one by one and cleaned and fitted - just in case. Nothing.
The arthury offered me another CEM - so hopefully we can try that out soon.
Hoping to get the MOT done soon
At least we've not had rain for a wee while!

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
With a little help from Arthuy, he buzzed the relays and we managed to get the wipers AND mirrors going. It looks like the relay k is a bit flaky as they mostly now work. There were also a few brown wires, that looked like they melted a little.
I'm about to look for the relay part numbers, but if anyone knows them, could they let me know.
Cheers

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
Brown wires are typically earths.

This diagram is the five pin version showing the difference between the relay pins, but the 4 pins are the same without the centre pin (87a).
Just in case anyone stumbles across this post with the same issue the part numbers for the correct 4 pin relays are below.
Volvo: PN 472210/01
Pearl: PR06
Bosch: 0 332 019 451 / 0 332 014 406
BMW: 61311354393
Halfords: HEF555
siemens: V23134-K52-X249
