Mercedes c230 windshield wiper starts on its own

could have broken off someof the plastic inside that help moves the wipers. look for small pieces of debris and replace that part

Mercedes have a bad rep for low amp alternators. 70 amps in my 87 300e, not enough to run headlight, windshield wipers, AC, and high amp stereo at the same time on short trips. Really, worse than that. What I read was that many have switched to much higher amps in alternators, mostly from GM cars, up to 200 amps.

either the start stop relay is goosed or the wiper censor has gone also could be the controll stalk on the steering wheel part

Check its wiring, there must be some sort short circuits. There is no other reason other than this.

my windshield whippers arent not working on my 2004 c230 how do i fix it?
thank u

ARE YOU BLIND?

Block C fuse No 22

When you pull the lever to activate the windshield washers, do you hear any type of sound coming from under the hood?  A whirring sound should be heard from the little electric pump that feds the washers.
If you can hear the whir, then you should look for a possible clog in the washer hoses (there is more than one...).
If you cannot hear the whirr, then you should check the fuse that protects the windshield washer circuit.  Check your owner's manual for the location and correct amperage for this circuit.
Good luck!

The dealer near me charges $365 for a 4-cyl, $395 for a 6/8 cyl, or $425 for a 12-cyl. The only actual repair/maintenance you get for that price is an oil change (with Mobil1 and the MB filter, which are CRITICAL, ~$120 on its own) and tire rotation. This makes a lot of people think it's a scam, but really, it's a little steep, but definitely worth doing. The rest of the service consists of a massive inspection of your vehicle covering the following items.

-- Fluid levels
-- Tire tread/pressure/wheel condition
-- Air filter (inc. clean out housing)
-- Cabin air filter (inc. clean out housing)
-- Lubricate sunroof rails, locks, hinges, and seals on body.
-- Drive belt and tensioner
-- HVAC system operation
-- Instruments, cruise control
-- Wipers/washers/lights/horn
-- Windows/sunroof operation
-- Hoses
-- Transmission fluid
-- Brakes
-- Chassis/suspension
-- Driveshaft, inc. flex discs
-- Road test
-- Reset maintenance light

This is actually pretty essential to do, despite seeming like a lot of money for not much work. I have very rarely done one without catching a few things that the customer needs, and often it was a problem that would have gotten far worse had it been left to its own.

Hello, Spray some wd-40 etc at the joint that the wiper blade pivots on and then work it back and forth. Sometimes you really have to push harder than you thought it could stand.
I hope this helps.
