Hey everyone. I've been using this site for years to fix my Laguna's problems but this is the first time I've needed to submit a question as its a bit of an odd one.
My wipers occasionally won't start but only in certain circumstances. More specifically when I first start the car and it's raining. In that scanerio I have to leave the motor running anywhere between 5 to 20 mins and eventually it kicks in. But on dry days, if I start the car and wash the windscreen immediately, the wipers work
I thought that maybe it was a loose connection in the plug to the motor but no obvious sign of that. Then I thought it was a build up of gunk in the shaft of the motor that was seizing the motor that the heat of the engine eventually loosened. But of course no. Also after all why would it work in dry conditions?
It must be a loose connection somewhere but I can't figure out why the problem only presents itself when raining. As far as I am aware I don't have a rain sensor on my model either. Though perhaps someone can correct me there.
So I'm lost but hoping for someone's input before going down an expensive replacement route.
Thanks!
