180sx - Front and rear wipers stopped working

[strinh11]

Hi all,

Got an issue that has just randomly started happening.
Front and rear windscreen wipers have stopped working, same for the wiper water spray on both
Things I've checked
- Can't hear any noise from the wiper motor
- Checked fuses at footwell, all good
- checked plugs and connections on the motor and the amp next to it

I'll get the multimeter out tomorrow to test power to the wiper motors but
It got a bit too dark so I couldn't pull off the plastics and get underneath the wipers

I've also noticed that my electric mirrors don't fold/adjust and I don't think my aircon is working both of which I haven't used in a long time but when I turn aircon on while idling, I can usually notice a difference in revs but I don't hear any change.

Everything else electronically works, indicators, lights, audio, heating, clock.
Thinking possibly the stalk is the problem? is there any way I can test it by taking it off?

cheers



********EDIT*********
Alright, was able to figure out what the issue is, was bugging me too much so I got out the multimeter and tested the plug at the wiper motor and got nothing.
I came across this post

Which kojiki88 suggested the relays behind the fuse box, couldn't see them initially because mine is reversed to the image and I was looking on the wrong side with the panel covering the other side.
Mine seemed to be different to what kojiki88 suggested though, I moved 2nd from the top to the top which turned off my heater fans and voila! the wipers worked.
So mine appears to be
1st - Wiper motors
2nd - Heater fans
3rd - ?
4th - ?
Tomorrow when I've got light i'll test the other 2 and see if they're my mirrors and AC
