S211 Fuse Confusion?

[AbeM]

My back wiper has stopped working. Think it may have fused. Can anyone advise which fuse this is on, and is there anything else on this circuit? It is a 55 plate but MY06.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Try fuse 7 in the rear fuse box. The circuit runs through fuse 7, then relay D, then to pin 2 of the control unit in the tailgate.

However, my guess is a broken wire in the loom that goes to the tailgate. To remove the rear door trim, pull out all of the trim pegs around the edge of the black bit (pins first, then the "sockets" they push into), remove the plastic bottom trim, then push the carpeted bit upwards to release. Refitting it is a bit fiddly.

Thanks it's not the fuse

The fuse appears to be intact. I will check out the wiring as you suggest. It has also been suggested that the relay might be away. I am no spark, but I assume I would be able to test the relay by bypassing it?

Normally a broken wire in the hinge area on the estates

Mine stopped working, the fuse and relay was ok then I found the spindle that goes through the tailgate had siezed.....cleaned it up and it works fine
