malcolm rees Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I have a Citroen C5 Exclusive Saloon, Diesel, 2008. The front window wipers have an intermittent fault whereby they either don't work at all or get stuck mid-screen or in the upright position. We tried putting them in the upright position by pressing the wand within a minute of turning the engine off and this sometimes works but then they don't always work next time. Sometimes they move position when unlocking the car with electronic key. Currently the drivers side is struck in the upright position and the passenger side is stuck in the down position. Is there any fixes or reset for this fault? Quote
paul.h Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Welcome to the forum. It could be the wiper motor needs replacing. Our C3 rear wiper would not always park in the right position or stop and when the tailgate was replaced complete with wiper motor the problem stopped. Also check if the wiper arms are tight on the spindles. Next thing to consider is the wiper switch which is usually part of the steeering wheel switch unit but this will be expensive. Quote
