connectors to screen, take black plastic trim(s) off, unplug and plug in a few times, mine was loose and the wiper mech was hitting it everytime wipers went past.

 

ok cheers ill have a look when i get chance

 

if that don't work, accidentally throw a brick at it, and call for a windscreen.

 

Good advice

 

I had same issue and found problem I think pins on connector loose check my other posts

 

where are they exactly?

 

under the trim pannel where the window wipers rest. think of the area when you change the pollen filter and you will get the idea. often worth unplugging the relays and reseating them. dont forget that they sit idle for most of the year. one connector per siide on the bottom corners.

Worth trying a gray ford relay in the socket to check that the control side of things aint wonky (yes rich we will have a look at your's )

i got to change the pollen filter anyway so ill take the relays out and refit them.

 

while your at that point check the connection like the ones i had issues with - might find its a simple problem all being well like i had.

 

where is it? pollen filter side or other side?

 

mine was teh drivers side, pollen i think is passanger side to easy to get too. i just have issue getting wiper arms off and went to buy a arm removal tool in order to get to it.

 

ah i thought u might say that, is it possible i could reach it through passenger side? i got long thin arms lol.

just dont wanna be out there in this weather for long with my health probs.

 

windscreen connectors on mine were near each end of the screen, prob wont be able to reach.

 

nope the wiper arms are in the way. you need to remove the arms to be able to get to them, unless you want to snap the plastic into bits

 

bugger

ill have to try the bits i can reach and hope it works if not just need to wait till its warmer

 

its only a half hour job tg, http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2653822

 

as siruncle said.

I think i spent max 1 hour that included me cleaning the lower end of the screen of dirt and crap... as well and a little spit and polish on the plastic trim, then cleaned up the connection points and greaced them to aid if they need removing in the future.. all within an hour easily from start to finish >)
