Tucker9037 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 does anyone know if my master wiper motor is shot would it stop the passenger side motor working also? Quote
paul.h Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 From a wiring diagram in the French RTA manual for the C5 (X7), both wiper motors share most of the same wiring - a common earth, 2 connections between themselves, a supply (wire no. 9040 which splits to 9040D and 9040G - droit and gauche motors) from the engine fuse box, but there is a separate wire to each one from the engine fuse box (no. 500 and 501) from a relay 5 (fed from relay 4 and fuse F12) which seems to switch between these 2 wires. It does not show which motor is the master one. So from this, possibly a failure of one motor may affect the other due to the connections between each other, but I am not sure. Due to the high cost of a motor it is a bit of a gamble buying one unless you can get a used one. For a RHD car, left motor is 6405LE and the right one 6405LA. There is info on this topic that suggests a problem with one motor will affect the other http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/21404-09-c5-windscreen-motor-replacement/ Quote
Tucker9037 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks Paul. I do believe the master wiper is on the driver side. It's the master and passenger side is the slave. I am hoping this will be it cured when I get it changed. I can't complain at the price either as its a brand new valeo motor for £130 Quote
