Hi All,
My partner has a 2009 i30 ES. It is a UK model. The rear wiper has stopped working, so I have carried out some basic checks:
1. The 15A fuse tests OK
2. When the rear wiper is switched on, we can hear a relay clicking in the nearside rear of the car, somewhere between the boot and the rear passenger seat.
3. I removed the boot lid inside cover and the wiper motor is not making any noise at all.
4. The white 4-pin plug that plugs into the motor unit appears to be dead - all 4 pins have been tested to ground when the wiper is turned on and 12v is not present on any of the pins. The relay can be heard clicking during testing.
Any suggestions please? Dodgy relay or something else? If it's the relay, how do I get to it because it seems to be behind the grey plastic around the rear quarter window...there's also an air bag behind that trim and I don't want it activating unexpectedly!
Thanks in advance.
