I'm x-posting this to you guys because, once again, I think there are more experienced guys on this board.....

Hey guys,

Subject- 1991 200 TQA 20V

Issue- During a fairly heavy downpour today, I wiped the rear glass and only got through half the motion, the wiper is stuck in the up, vertical position. I heard some clicking in the relay area near my left knee, so I guess the relay is engaging, but don't know why. Is the wiper motor seized? I can turn the "clicking" on and off with the wiper stalk, just as you would turn the wipers on and off, and the rear squirters still work. I can also smell a horrible oder in the cabin.....a cross between burning coolant and burning plastic. This is consistent with the timing of the rear wiper going dead. I checked for coolant leak, there is none....Seems like I'm burning something, somewhere....any help much appreciated

Best regards to all,

Jim Fleischer

Don't continue to engage it before you know what's going on. You could burn something up! The specific instructions on this page may not be exact for your avant, but it'll be close.<ul><li><a href="http://20v.org/wiper.htm#rear">http://20v.org/wiper.htm#rear</a</li></ul>
