Re: Similar problem with a moped
I was preparing my car for its MOT test, checking that everything worked, when I discovered that the rear wiper wouldn't. Checked the fuse - OK, Checked the switch - Dead. Hmm.... Got in the car and started the engine, and the wiper started to work. It doesn't mention it in the User Manual, but there is an interlock with the door switches so the wiper cannot be operated with the upper tailgate open, because the wiper mechanism is mounted on the body, and opening the window would stop it moving and overload the motor.
