[W126 Coupe] Windshield Wiper

[Camran Nassiri]

Hi Dick- the wipers are firm and don't move.  Right before it stopped working the blades were going back and forth at a slow pace.

Thanks for your help; it'll be great if I could get the write up you have.

Thanks,

Hi Camran,

Easy enough to check.

Grab a wiper arm and see if you can move it freely across the glass and report back.  It will either move very easily or feel firm.  If firm the linkage is fine.  If free to move about, it's the linkage.

Let me know.  I did a write up and photo shoot of the entire r&r of linkage and motor some time back.  Will have to see if it's still here.  Otherwise it's in the MBCoupes archives or perhaps I sent it up to Steve Nervig's pages.

Regards,
Dick

The windshield wiper on my 90 560SEC (71K miles) suddenly stopped working.  The windshield washer, however, still sprays.  I have already checked the fuse (#17) to no avail.  If the motor is bad, how hard is it to replace and where in the car is the wiper motor?  Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
