front wipers not working

[ALEXGT382]

hi guys mk5 gti wiper problems, they dont work from the stalk, but some one has wired a rocker swith down by the fuse box that turns them on. wash works on the stalk, tryed a new stalk and fuses what sends the signal to the wiper unit/ cheers

Have you tried a new relay?

[xjay1337]

Be a relay or wiring if you tried a known good stalk and a working fuse (if indeed you did replace the right fuse.. it's under the bonnet in that fusebox)

Also wipers not going to work if the bonnet is open (or car thinks the bonnet is open)

as above quotes

"wipers not going to work if the bonnet is open (or car thinks the bonnet is open)"

But will show in the MFD - relay favourite.

My approach would be to scan the car first to see what VCDS shows up  - then do few testes with VCDS  - since the cars been tampered with!

I'd probably do the same as above ^^
