Should have taken the e30 :(
Wife and I have come back from a week on holiday to find rain and no wipers. The car is a 2000 330 touring. It had issues with the rain sensing wipes in the past (They would stop until the engine was restarted) so we never used that setting but now they won't shift at all.
I tried pulling fuse 15 and now the front washers work but the wipes are still u/s even with the fuse back in.

Does anyone have any ideas? Wife is pissed off and the dogs aren't too happy either :(

Relay is pretty common on these, I've been out to a few now. Should start carrying spares..
