Audi S2 Coupe 3b Rear Wipe Dead

[audimaniac]

Hey guys, yet another gremlin on my S2, Rear wiper is dead, washers work, power is getting to motor and when bridged across it will work fine so not seized up, interesting thing though, on trying another under dash relay, i found absolutley no power at the terminal block ?? Any ideas where the relay terminals get their current from as i tried following the wiring and it gets lost in the muddle of wiring somewhere??
Any help again would be greatly appreciated

Stalk.....

Try squirting the stalk contacts with some contact clearner. The rear wiper on my avant didnt work for about 3 years or so until i tried this trick and it started working and has done perfectly for the last few years since Takes 2 minutes to do. Just make sure you use the little long nozzle thing when you do it and catch the excess with a rag so it doesnt stink out your carpets.

Yup contact cleaner is the solution for 90% of my electrical problems

I had the same problem, the wires were broken in the trunk on the top, I changed wires it helped

I had this problem left it for 5 years and it started working again on its own
