E39 wipers not working

[ver328i]

Hi Gents

I read that this is also one of the e39 common things and everyone says to replace the wiper relay...sounds easy but is really not!

none of the pictures on the internet matches what i see when i check under the cabin filter.

I have no tall tan relay(wiper relay) in there...is this perhaps somewhere else on SA cars?

You're finding more and more "common" problems on these cars and it makes me paranoid. Stop it :mmm:

Under the cabin filter mine looks like this...minus the light pink relay. One of the two relays above that says ABS so it cant be that one

Have you checked the fuses in the glove box?
