a car with parts not working?
Wiper stalk could be bad,wiper relay located by ecu could be bad,wires could be shorted. You are going to need to take it to someone and pay something.Find an indie mb shop it will be lots cheaper than the dealer.

what is a stalk is it what hold the wiper motor or stalk as in wiper motor switch inside the car

that operates the switch on the steering column.
www.benzworld w210 diy section has procedures to repair.
Have you triedputting voltage to the motor and seeing if you can narrow down the issue?

So i did some work on the benz changed the 12 spark plugs dam.so i did some test on the wiper motor and when u turn the wipers on you can hear and feel a click in one of the releys

does that mean it needs a new one

or is the switch is bad i dont think the wiper motor is bad should i return the new one

noddy2003 · 08-27-2009, 06:27 PM

same problem, i changed the relay but still same problem. I suspect it could be the stalk

tootyte36 · 09-06-2009, 03:20 PM

do u know or have read a post with diy info on re sotering some wires

i saw a post that had that info but can't find it

on that post they talk about some wire not making contact and there is some re sotering to do to get the wiper to work i'm almost sure thats whats wrong.The stalk is sending power to the relay cuz when u turn it on it clicks

the power is not making it past the that point

from the relay to wiper motor

i swaped some of the relays around and

i am going to try to pull out the box or fues that holds the relay and cheack for that or some thing like it
