Recently my wipers quit working on my 1985 300D. I checked the fuses with a volt meter, all showed continuity from post to post. I figgered it was probably the combo switch (turn signals, lights, etc all work fine, just no wipers or washers) so I removed the lower kick panel (under the steering wheel) and plugged in another combo switch ( I did not remove the switch on the steering column). Same results, everything seems to work except the wipers/washers........so does this mean it's a bad wiper motor or is there another electrical "opportunity" (relay, fuse, switch, etc).......THANX!!

 

use a test light to check fuses. volt meter has no draw and will not show bad connections. do you have power at the motor?
