Random question, anyone had their wipers go sluggish/stall? I’m not blowing a fuse as can hear the motor engage and if I give them a poke they spring into life again so guessing the issue is mechanical, not electrical.
Had to pull over twice on the way home as they gave up on me.
2014 ford ka, not been fucked around with or anything in the past.
A quick google(I’m yet to attempt to remove the scuttle pan) suggests there’s plenty of linkages and bushings that could dry out…
Any thoughts welcome, looks like a motor+linkages is only £70 so not the end of the world if I have to replace.
This is what the assembly looks like so assume one of those pivots could be seizing up?
