Put in a new wiper motor 1997 e39 528i bmw\it stops in the middle

Seems they have gone out of Sync, needs Workshop or Garage

1) Lift blade and clean with washer fluid on rag.
2) lift blade clean with Fantastic or similar on edge with rag.
3) Bend wiper arm slightly to put pressure on window from blade.
4) Change blade.

It's located inside the power distribution panel.

The power distribution panel on your car is located under the hood in the engine compartment. It is located on the right passenger side closest to the firewall.

When you open the cover to the PDP, you'll see a series of blade type fuses in the front compartment and a bunch of wire harnesses in the back- that's where you'll find the tan colored relay you need to replace.

I have attached a youtube video for you to watch because it appears that the most common cause of this relay failure is due to water build up in the PDP compartment which is causing serious wiring deterioration and rusting- not only to the wiper relay but to the other relay components in that block.

So should you be experiencing the same problem when you open the power distribution panel, you'll know what to do.

Your motor is more then likely locked up. Replace the wiper motor. First check the relays.

You will need to replace the wiper motor.

Take the cover off at the base of the wiper arm. There is a mechanical mechanism under there that causes the wiper to move out and in as it swings back and forth. Most likely it needs lubricated under there. Dont use w d 40 as it wont last long. Use a lightweight grease like silglyde, and coat all the moving surfaces. I did this to mine and havent had to touch it again for several years.

you have broken the gears in wiper transmission

open the hood and at the base of the wiper arm is a little balck cap, remove this cap and under it is a nut. this nut holds the wiper arm tight onto a spline. check to see if the nut has backed off or needs to be tightened. if not remove the nut and take off the wipers, the black cowel (at the bottom of the windshield) is held on with three plugs.(one in the middle and one on each end.) and one large plug below the passanger wiper blade. the wiper assembly and motor is under this cowel.
hope this helps

take a test light go to the wiper motor unplug it and test the pig tail. if the light comes on on all settings hi, low etc. then the motor is bad. if the light doesnt come on any of the settings except hi then the switch is bad.

you may of fitted the blades when the wiper motor wasnt in park

ok remove wiper arms turn ignition on turn on wipers then turn of by wiper swicth not key motor will stop in park position fit wiper arms in positon try and your done
