Hi everybody I'm Craig with a e60 520d 2009. looking for some advice as to why my wipers dont work as they should.

I press the stalk in for intermittent use and the light comes on the stalk, the wipers work for one wipe then they stop. I can adjust the setting for sensitivity which activates the wiper one time again then nothing green light still on and no other movement of the blades. all other wiper functions work as the should. any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Craig and welcome

My first thought is the rain sensor.

It is on the windscreen behind the rear view mirror housing.

Disconnect that and see what happens, if your wipers start working intermittently, there’s your issue!

Morning Craig

Welcome to the Forum

Stu is on the right track but when you push the button on the end of the stalk and the green light is on that is the rain sensor enabled, wiper should then operate when the sensor is obscured by water on the screen, just either spray water or sprinkle some on the screen. A single click down intermittent two clicks up for full operation and high speed a push towards the dash is intermittent rear wash wipe push towards the dash and click should give full rear wiper operation
