Problems with windshield wipers and headlight cleaning system on Renault Trafic: looking for experiences and solutions

Wipers don't work properly

Headlight cleaning system without function

Hey guys, a few things are causing problems with my Renault Trafic (built in 2006, diesel). The windshield wipers no longer work properly and my headlight cleaning system is also not working. I suspect that the windshield wiper switch may be broken. Have any of you ever had this fault and can give me helpful tips on how to narrow down the problem and identify what the real cause is? It would be great if you could also tell me about your experiences with the garage and how you solved the problem. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Renault Master (built in 2004, diesel). I have some experience with cars, but I'm not a professional. The symptoms were exactly the same. The reason was "cable connection steering column switch defective". The mechanics at my garage were able to fix the problem for 155 euros. However, it would be helpful to find out more information about your vehicle in order to be able to help more precisely. Maybe check your cable connections. Hope that helps!

Hi, thanks for the tip! My Trafic has already covered a whopping 134869 km and the last service was nine months ago. I'm not a professional, but I think with that mileage there could well be cable connection problems. I'll take a closer look and if I can't find anything, it's off to the workshop. Have a nice day!

Hey, that sounds like a good plan! Such problems can really occur with higher mileage, which was also the case with my Renault. Just look directly at the cable connection from the windshield wiper switch and make sure it's still intact. Of course, this should be done in a safe environment. If you can't deal with it, going to the garage is definitely the better option. Keep us posted on how it goes. Good luck and have a nice day!

Thanks for the detailed advice! I'll have a look at the wiring in daylight and hope to find the fault myself. If nothing can be found or I can't make any progress, it's definitely off to the workshop. I'll let you know as soon as I know what the problem is. Until then, thanks again and have a good day!
