Most likely the unit on the steering column has gone bad. Most likely need replacement.

Wipers and washers not working on 1967 mercedes 250sl not the fuse both just stoped working is ther a relay help COLIN

this sounds like a bad wipermotor or switch. use a test light and turn wipers on try all speeds and check for power at the motor and also check for a good ground at motor, if theres power and ground at the wipermotor then motor is bad. if theres no power or a ground at motor then its a switch or bad wire to wiper motor, start with these tests this will help you pin point the problem.

Windscreen wipers only work on fast not onnormal or int

Hi most likely the switch that operates the wipers is broke and not the wipers motor.

Get it tested before replacing it, but most often alfa's have so many electrical problems it's difficult to say.

Windscreen wiper on Mercedes C200 not working. Replaced it 4 years ago. Slowed down in cold weather - 2; then stopped.

you should check the connection to the main board and the connections to the motor for the wipers. these sometimes become gunked up, so when you pull them apart to check them clean them with sand paper or something that can scrub them like a green scratch pad

On a land rover discovery, windscreen wiper motor, there are 5 coloured wires. Can you tell me what each one does, ie. green -- earth brown -- constant + red -- fast blue -- slow black -- intermitant...

Ok, here are the wiring colors and functions/destinations. C0030 is the motor connector for the front windscreen.
C0030-1 - Black, runs to a Earth
C0030-2 - White/Green - Fed from the front wiper relay, via the IDM
C0030-3 - Blue/Green - Flick Wipe/Fast Wipe
C0030-4 - Green/SlateGrey - Power from Aux Relay
C0030-5 - Red/Green - Looks to be a speed control connection.

It's hard to tell to be honest, you'd really need to sit down with RAVE and the electrical circuit diagram and the operation description to make head or tail of it.

Where is the windscreen wiper relay located on a 1992 mercedes 300 sl

should be under the screwed down cover behind the fuses in the engine compartment.
If your wiper is having issues normally it is the mechanical side of the unit. Try going to www.benzworld.org or peachparts.com and look on how to lubricate it.

1997 Saturn SL wipers wont stop

well the good thing is you know the wipers work !! , I would start by seeing if the washer squirters work when using the Wiper lever . and I would also see if it worked on fast speed and slow speeds . If it does you may have a wiper switch that has gone bad ! ,
