Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / March 2006intermitten wiper not working
89 560SL What might be the most probable cause and cure of the intermitten position for the windshield wipers doing nothing? (Slow and Fast work fine.) >89 560SL What might be the most probable cause and cure of the >intermitten position for the windshield wipers doing nothing? (Slow >and Fast work fine.) The switch fails first and is the most usual cause of problems.

Would that not cause all the other functions of the switch to stop? Only my intermittent wiper feature has stopped > Would that not cause all the other functions of the switch to stop? > Only my intermittent wiper feature has stopped That was exactly the problem in my 450SL. Only the intermittent did not work and the wipers would not self park. Problem was that the cable plug was disconnected from the control module. I suspect that previous owner was trying to shoot a battery drain problem as several other plugs were also disconnected on the car. Is there a way to test it? >Is there a way to test it? I'm not familiar enough with the SL you have to say of an easy way. But, if you drop if off here ar my house, I'll seuss it out fo ryou and by fall we'll now for sure. Aww hell, I'll jsut fix it for you nice guy that I am. Failing that... Common sense says take it off, and apply a voltmeter. With the schematic you might/should be able to find the wire that signals intermittant operation and check that out with a voltmeter.
