I do not have the Rain Sensor.
I have just replaced the wiper motor.
All fuses are fine.

Any other ideas of what I can be missing? Its driving me crazy.
vbtrader, i am having exactly the same problem on my 05 E53. but mine run for longer than yours say up to 30 mins. it has been in to the steelers and they have fitted a new wiper relay. after a few days of use they have failed in the same way again.... and YES it is bloody dangerous as when they fail its not funny. it goes back in on Monday and i will be asking for the stealer to change any item in the wipers circuit as it cant happen again.

unfortunalely they do not stay failed and always restart after a while.
