Windshield wipers and headlight cleaning system: Defects in Peugeot 3008 Diesel (2016)

Hello, I drive a Peugeot 308 from 2013 and had a similar problem to yours. The cable connection of the steering column switch was defective in my old car, just like yours. The symptoms were the same: the windshield wipers and the headlight cleaning system didn't work properly. At the workshop, they then replaced the entire steering column switch because the cable connection could not be repaired separately. That was definitely a major repair, but since then the problem has been solved and I haven't had any more problems with it. Hope my experience helps you. Good luck!

Hello, your answer seems very helpful to me, thank you! Replacing a steering column switch sounds like quite an extensive job. Do you happen to remember roughly how much it cost you? And have you noticed any other problems since then that might be related to this fault? Thank you!

Hi, sure, no problem! Well, I remember that replacing the steering column switch cost a total of €155. It wasn't cheap, but since then the windshield wipers have been working perfectly again. The malfunction of the windshield wiper switch was also fixed. Since the repair, I haven't noticed any other problems that could be related to the fault. All I can say is that it was worth the money. Hope this helps you! Best regards!
