Rear wiper not working

X5H · #1 09-20-2010, 03:09 PM

On my X5 3.D Sport my rear wipers dont seem to work or I dont know how to operate it!

In the manual it states to leave the stalk in the 0 postion and the rear wipers comes on when the car is put in reverse. Ive tried this to no avail.

Any ideas how to work it or which fuse to check and where its located please

Hi,

I did try pressing it forward as suggested but noticed it was quite difficult and didnt want to break it. Mine also has the superwash feature so not sure if its any different. Will give it another go in the morning

I tried pushing the wiper forward but it feels as though its going to break if i pushed any harder.

Any other ideas?

Sometimes the nut works its way loose inside the tailgate. Can you hear the motor going?

Im not sure the stalk is engaged correctly or it seems very stiff whern i try and push it forward like its going to break. Cant hear the motor either
