Where is the fuse situated for the windscreen wiperson a bmw 318 1997

If you open the hood, it's on drivers side under the cowl. It's held down with three bolts and is attached to an arm that connects wiper arms. If you have the tools it's fairly easy. If not have a reputable shop do it.

Pretty common for these to go out. Often the brushes will become corroded. A parts house should be able to find you some.

when you open the fuse box cover the fuse in on top t word the passenger side of the box it is the 3rd over from the left which means start counting the top left fuse as #1 and so on it is #3 and is 30 amp

check the windscreen washer strainer it could be glogged up or it coud be a faulty windscreen motor pump.

Firstly check the fuses, if they are ok and you can here noise it will most likely be the linkage has popped apart, if no noise when on then check the switch.

*If you had cold weather when this happened, it is common for the motor to strain and blow the fuse*

Look under fuse box lid, there should be a diagram.

check the wiper relay on the l/s in negine bay where your engine ecu is fitted it is situated at the bottom and can get in to some water

Look on the Door end on the Driver side door. There should be a Tag or Label with it there.

it's normal, windshield wipers in bmws are connected to the speedometer since the old E36 3series, so they stop whenever you stop your car. If they start again once the car moves there's nothing wrong with your car!

some due there called fire wall filter
after a certain year they started placeing these kind of filters in vehicles
the year they started this leeps my mind but bmw and mercedis and jaguar were the leaders in new technology way ahead of time so its quite possible that your car has it
