Thomas77GR Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Hi all, my windshield wipers have stopped working, the car has been parked up for a few months, they worked fine before. The wiper motor was quite slow last time I used them, Also, the left/right signals work ok. Any advice? Do I need to find a replacement motor and stalk? Could I use something off another vehicle to suit? e.g. kadett? thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sounds like it might be the contacts on the gears inside the motor. Replacement unless you fancy stripping gearbox and cleaning up brushes, contact and repair as necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Might be worth tracing the wiring just to double check its not a connection somewhere. Are all the fuses ok? Got the wiring diagram here if you don't have it. https://www.theopelproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Opel-Manta-A-Series-Wiring-Diagram.pdf Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 not familiar with the 'a' series so my suggestion may not apply ! the b series wiper motor has an earth connection to a screw just below its front mounting.this being loose would obviously cause issues but may not be your case. is the motor accesable to check for steady voltages ?
