Windshield wipers that don't stop.
220D from 1973.
Wipers didn't stop on the way to work today, had to pull over and remove the appropriate fuse. Symptom familiar to anyone? |
Check the switch on the washer pedal to see if it's stuck or shorted.

Don't know if it applies here, but I had an old VW once with a similar problem. Reason was the "parking" contact on the wiper motor had worn so that if the wipers overran the contact as they slowed to a stop, they would re-connect with the "running" contact and complete another cycle. Perpetual motion!! I had to open up the motor case and cobble a fix. (Could have been a junkyard transplant; don't really remember.)

I had the same problem with a 356A porsche. When the wiper reached the bottom of the cycle I held it with my finger momentarily and it would stop. Might work on the mercedes.

Thanks. (late reply due to two weeks of rain induced procrastination). |
I wired an electic pump to my washer pedal switch when the rubber bulb rotted but that's another story. Glad to have helped.
