front wipers
my front wiper started playing up on friday but i thnk perhaps a fuse has done, but i cannot really understand where in the fuse box the fuse is, i looked at the owners manual and cannot see a fuse of the same rating in the box as per the book. the wipers are working but not stopping as they should and when they do stop they don't stop in the correct place

Re: front wipers
Do they work OK on high speed, but not on normal, or doesn't it make any difference?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)

2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

Re: front wipers
they work on highspeed as well as single wipe but they just don't stop in the right place on single wipe they just keep wiping and stop where they want too and not where they should but it's either the fuse or the relay i think

Bad earth, contacts in the motor, relay, wiring or switch (just narrowing it down so it's less than half the car now

Re: front wipers
i had simular fault before on either my last rapier or 306 and it turned out to be the fuse had blown but i cannot see the fuse, i may nip it into my peugeot dealer at the weekend and get it checked, they will know where the fuse is or if there is a relay for it. The wiper just started messing on friday night.
