I have a 2008 Mini Cooper S I acquired about a week ago, I knew there was a wiper issue on purchase.
Wipers only work on start up for about 30-45 sec, then park at the top of the windshield.
All relays are good, tested the motor it is good (not ground issue, added a ground no change), tested the wiring and there doesn't seem to be an issue, all connectors are clean and appear to be making contact.
I am left with the steering column switch being the issue, has anyone else had this issue? Before I go out and drop $700 on a switch, did it solve your issue?
