- The wiper motor is responsible for driving the wiper arms.
- If the motor is damaged or faulty, the wipers will not move or may move erratically.
2. Defective Wiper Linkage:
- The linkage connects the motor to the wiper arms.
- Damage or wear in the linkage can prevent the wiper arms from moving properly.
3. Faulty Wiper Blades:
- Worn or damaged wiper blades can cause the wipers to skip, streak, or make noises.
- In severe cases, they may even fail to wipe the windshield clear.
4. Electrical Issues:
- Problems with the electrical system, such as a blown fuse, damaged wiring, or a faulty switch, can prevent the wipers from working.
- Check fuses, wiring, and switch to identify any issues.
5. Frozen Wiper Arms:
- If the windshield is covered in snow or ice, the wiper arms can become stuck or frozen in place.
- This prevents them from moving properly and effectively clearing the windshield.
6. Incorrect Wiper Blade Type:
- Using the wrong type of wiper blades for your Mercedes C-Class can cause compatibility issues.
- Ensure that you are using wiper blades recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
If you are experiencing issues with your Mercedes C-Class windshield wipers, it's recommended to consult with a qualified mechanic or technician. They can properly diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs to restore the wiper functionality.
