C5 Rear Washer And Wiper Problem

[John Buckley]

Hi,

 

I've been experiencing an intermittent simultaneous failure of both the rear wiper and washer on my 0202 C5. It seems to happen after heavy rain, but not always. I also have an occasional appearance of the airbag warning light.... Any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks

Hi John

 

it sounds to me like its your switching block behind your stering wheel if it was just your wiper i would say its your connecting plug which connects the cars boot to the main loom its just under the head liner but if your airbag light comes on its the control pannel citroen have superseeded the part as its a known fault its going to cost £166 - ish and you can fit it yourself as long as your carefull

 

take the battery off leave the car for 30/45 mins the longer the better centre the steering wheel and you will find 2 clips that hold the airbag on un-clip them - CAREFULLY - and remove the airbag undo the main steering wheel nut and there is a clamp at the rear of the unit undo this and unplug all the relevent wires replace the unit carefully and when your done re connect the battery and see if you have sorted your problem
