Car Forum / MINI / August 2006HELP ! Wiper switch
when detaching my wiper switch, the thing just popped open and the spring inside jumped out, I have no idea how to put it back together ! can anyone help ?? I don't have the Haynes manual yet, can someone look up if the info I need is in there ? thanks in advance Ferdy that shouldnt happen, and the haynes manual wont show you how to rebuild it either..... Might just be easier to get a 2nd hand one, even if its to copy what your old one looks like to rebuild it that way, then youll have a spare?

It is a fiddly bugger of a thing to reattach but why have you removed the park-switch anyway? If your wipers have failed to park themselves, then you do need to get a replacement. Taffy Just a replacement park-switch that is! Taffy >Just a replacement park-switch that is! > >Taffy the wipers park, so that's okay i removed the swicth, because the unit where it is attached to moves around, so when I put on my directions, the whole unit just moves along (get it ?) i found out that the ring holding the unit to the steering thing is broken, I tried to remove the switch to get some more workingspace, i guess I'll just have to go to the garage tomorrow, if I can't get it fixed... |
