137699 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Have you checked the fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN31 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 hi the only thing i can find in the hand book about front wipers is F22 and its a 30 amp wiper modual it looks like a square block with if there is a fuse for it then let me know thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzer Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 My front wipers have stopped working too. Fuse module F22 seems Ok. Swapped it with another. Have u seen stuff in the smax official trouble topic about water damage to alarm module that can cause wipers to stop working. I am wondering if this is my problem so I have pulled the fuse for the module and am waiting for the battery backup to discharge to see if the wipers come back on.

jezzer Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I didnt get anywhere with the alarm module, nothing seemed to change so I reinstated the fuse [yesterday]. Now, this morning, for no apparent reason, my wipers are working again. I was just about to go to the Ford dealers too. This points more and more to the alarm module I guess. Perhaps its dried out a little. My front wipers have stopped working too. Fuse module F22 seems Ok. Swapped it with another.

Denno 660 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 is there a module in one of the wiper motors on the s-max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 On vehicles with dual wiper motors, one unit is the master and the other the slave. They are not the same unit. The Canbus signal to tell the motor to operate goes to the master unit first, it is then sent from that to the slave unit. Changing either motor causes synchronisation issues and neither motor will operate. Not that I've ever needed to do it, but I think there is a procedure in FORScan to reset both motors. From memory I think that there is power to both motors all of the time. It is the canbus signal that controls them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
