trickydicky Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ho, I have a hymer '08 . The windscreen wipers are so annoying, one minute they work perfectly, then they stop halfway across the windscreen, and sometimes they go completely out of rhythm . Has anyone else got this problem.

Guest peter Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Make sure the retaining nuts are tight or they will slip on the splined shafts and go haywire. Also check all linkages are tight and in alignment with the same result. I hope it's not the computer that controls them that's faulty or that will be expensive. (depends on the age and make of your base vehicle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Fougere Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hi Tricky. I had a similar problem. Random operation and it would park where it liked. It turned out to be a short in the cable assembly to the motor. It was chafing on a metal bracket in the engine compartment. I repaired the cable and rerouted it. No problem since.

Derek Uzzell Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Trickydicky's 2008 Hymer is a B-664CL model, with triple windscreen-wipers. (I don't know if Hymer adapts Fiat's wiper system or uses its own, but I'd guess the latter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIFFO Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Had the problem on my 508 cl.....2010, the dealer put it right on it's first service. I think he did it via the plug in diagnostic......no problem since. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Derek Uzzell - 2013-12-14 8:11 AM Trickydicky's 2008 Hymer is a B-664CL model, with triple windscreen-wipers. (I don't know if Hymer adapts Fiat's wiper system or uses its own, but I'd guess the latter.) If the wipers are similar to ours, as they appear to be, I don't think they are the Fiat items, but something made up for Hymer. The steering-wheel control stalk is the standard Fiat item, so it is possible the rest of the control system is also Fiat, with only the mechanicals having been changed. If that is the case, a Fiat dealer should be able to sort the problem. Otherwise, it seems a trip to a Hymer dealer will be required. However, the best place to start would seem to be the cable, in case it is just chafing and shorting somewhere, as suggested above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Seems to me you and HWO should lay off the hallucinogenic mince pies.

The windscreen wipers are so annoying, one minute they work perfectly, then they stop halfway across the windscreen, and sometimes they go completely out of rhythm . Has anyone else got this problem. Our Knaus A class had similar problems. The fault was caused by grease on the contacts inside the gearing/motor housing. After marking the position of the link arm on the spindle I removed it and the end plate before cleaning the grease from the contacts. Not sure whether this is the case on your van but it worked for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
