2013 mini hatch-front wipers not working

2013 mini front wipers not working
Hey All,

Hoping you can help.

I tested both relays..ok

I checked the fuse..ok

The motor is working..tested it and it spins

But i get nothing when i turn them on…

I tried running anew ground cable and that didn’t work either..

The sunroof drain was plugged and the right side of the car did get soaked.. is it possible the water shorted something down around the fuse panel on the passenger side?

Cheers

Andrew

Yes, check the FRM to see if corroded.

Ok thank you. I had to completely remove the carpeting as it was soaked and would not dry(big job). I am going to run water all over the car it until i find the leak. I am going to take apart the headliner like you have and see if the sunroof drain hose is cracked. it seems to be draining.. I did blast them both with air when I first noticed water in the car. It seems odd that all the other electronic connections are working fine and it is just the wipers that crapped out.
Cheers
