How to fix BMW windscreen wipers not working problem 

Thanks.Helped me fix a friend's old BMW, a car he bought new, kept all these years, and has a connection with.

I have the same issue. This is a fantastic video very methodical and informative. Thank you!

Thank you very much for helping me troubleshoot my fault on my e39 wipers. 🙂

A temporary solution to wipers not working is to apply Rain-X to your windshield. This is a water repellent which will cause rainwater to bead and run off from wind. This works extremely well at speeds over about 45 MPH (about 70 km/h). When you’re traveling at typical in-town speeds, there is not enough wind to blow the water off your windshield, but the water will still bead, so it’s still somewhat effective. I recommend using Rain-X even with the wipers working, just running them as necessary…you will see much better.

Thanks from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Hi, I got the same issue and behaviour of the front wipers and in addition the rear one too on my e39'03 tourer and I've replaced the relay with newer production year, but no changes to the wipers behaviour. Still seeking for the trouble. Assume the switch/lever is faulty. Good video by the way! BMW is always fun!

Great video, i liked that you tested the relais on his function :=) i got nearly the same problem with my bmw 316i e46 sometimes wipers are working, sometimes they stop wiping without pullung the lever...so i think its the relais too in my case

Thanks Good technical detail information and basic trouble shooting procedure Well done

Great job thanx this really helped me fix my wipers.Dope Real Talk.

Thanks, this is the best video for my car, much appreciated 😊

Thanks you! I have the same problem, I can fix the problem now.

Thank you 🙏 you fix the problem That’s going to help me good job I really appreciate thank you for The video very helpful

Nicely done, buddy...love the Easten European accent too!

Lol I pulled my wiper relay, I also own an E39, and sure enough, it’s rattling just like yours is, I’m gonna rummage through a junkyard or 2 before shelling out 80$ at FCP LOL!

Great video mate. You can move that black drain cover at the back with a 10mm wrench, loosen the bolt slightly and it slips right out! Ive had the same issue but after rebuilding my relay my wipers fail after 5 mins or so. No closer to finding the problem.

Hey Warp Drive M - the next time you need to get into your fuse panel, check out the red fuse puller (at seen about 1:40 of your video here). That's a really nice BMW adder...use it and don't lose it! :-)

Thank you for this, superb! One question: E46s have 2 fuses for the windscreen wipers. DO E39s have also two or only 1 fuse? Of course I am having the same problem... Thank you in advance

Mulțumesc frumos... Chiar mi-ai rezolvat și mie problema cu acest filmuleț... Multă baftă în continuare 🤗😘

Thanks for that. Right hand drive cars the box is on the other side 😊

what if it is not the relay? I have replaced my relay and the wipers still do not work. Same issues as described in your video. Thank you.

“Holy crap that was hard “😂😂😂

Thank you for saving me some money 💰 👍

Awesome. I'll tey tomorrow. Thanks

Thank you so much from libya very useful video

Great DIY video go on bro

Thank you for making this video,my car has this problem also.

Welp I’m hoping one of your fixes will work, either way thank you my friend!

Nice and simple video easy to understand.

Hi Mate, I have got an e46 320i 150hp manual. The windscreen washing pump doesn't work. I checked all the fuses that belong to the windscreen system. they seemed to be alright. So Is there anything that I can check except the pump motor? like the relay or something else. It will be appreciated if you advise me on something.

I don’t have the same issue in my e46. My wipers work, but the spin knob in the wiper lever doesn’t work that controls the speed when put at the first push up. Does the relay control that part of it as well. Chasing it and have no idea where to look. Do you know if the relay controls that as well?

"wiggle it a bit, and it maybe works... no, of course it's not that easy" 😀 i feel that, just done this on an early e38.. where there are 2 relays for the wipers, both in the bottom, under everything else.. i have not much skin left on my hands 😂

Awoseme video super well done bro!!!

Thanx, good simple info for a d.i.y. I'm gonna try. Hope to fix it

How often do things like that happen? Hopefully when I get a car I that doesn’t happen when it’s raining!!!

Im gonna change my shit in the morning thanks from Chicago

Great, thank you.

You are grat bro. Thanks for the video!

Hi Checked relays, it's working. what could be the next problem on the E46 bmw

Very nice video mate

My bmw 318 series has a similar issue: The dippers keep on working and can't be stoped. Since that happened, the indicators are not working except the hazard lights. The switch system is knocked off as well. Can't flush not flash the beam lamps. Please help. You may reach me on phone if you approve.

Very nice , whare are place headlight control module bmw , plz reply

Thanks for your help

Habe immer genau die gleichen Probleme wie du mit meinem E39. Hast du die Batterie vorher abgeklemmt? Gruß

have you guys had following situation when wipers works for few hours in the rain, then they dies, but when you stop the car and turn off ignition wait like 5-10 minutes it works again?

is it the same one venos and double venos

Trying this on my Mini Cooper hopefully I can get it to work

Plz give here exact relay solution and numbers on which connector i should put 12 v and which connectors should be open or closed.

Very good Video Bro

Thank you, bro!🙏👍

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️ top top bro trank you very much

Great video

I just checked all my fuses I checked my relays all good I switched my motor with a new one and I still get nothing my windshield wipers spray but I get no wipers I have a 2008 328i e92 what else should I do

Job well done.

I have a 2008 535i my wipers go up but do not go down..if i push down on them with my hands than when i hit the wiper switch it goes down..any suggestions before i take it to mechanic?

Danke bro

Thanks Gru!!!!

An meinem e39 haben heute die scheibenwischer nicht funktioniert bin dann 5 Minuten ohne Wischer gefahren und danach gingen sie wieder normal... Kann es auch das relai sein? Oder nur die Sicherung die spinnt?

I have this problem with my 745 but I think the problem is the whole car lol electrical disasters. Tbh mine runs great engine wise but battery problems are killing me. I just fixed transmission failsafe and no I didn't just push the gas for bout minute, troubleshooting shit makes more problems come up. I know I love bmw's but I'll only own manual for now on

well i have e36 and have the same problem, but fuse and relay seems to fine...

😅😅thnx somuch my brthr...i as looking 4tht

I changed the Relay but still not working

i drove through a big puddle and realized my wipers don’t work lol good thing it wasn’t raining

How much for a relay can I buy a cheap one off eBay and be ok?

My problem is a little different. When wipers stop working, window washer also doesn't work. Any ideas?

Good

I almost died today...driving my bmw 528i it started raining so I turned my wipers on and abt 5 minutes later the wipers stopped working and I couldn't see jack shit while on the highway

Why mi wipers wont stay at final position

What if my wipers work but they dont remember resting position and stop in middle of class not down as they should.

At 8:50 you should’ve just unplugged it from the wall lol

Caput? Cabut? ..Say? What's that? 😁👍

Thanks !!!!:) :)

Ich habe ein 760 e66 und er springt manchmal an manchmal auch nicht was kann das sein Batterie wurde erneuert und von bmw codiert

Helpd me...
