1 series wipers
I've got a 2006 1 series with auto wipers. Unfortunately this morning
the front wipers have stopped working - no manual wipers or auto wipers. Has anybody else experienced this? What could be causing it? |

The problem is now affecting the auto-headlight sensors - ie the
headlights are staying on regardless of the lighting conditions. It's bright blue sky and 28C and the sensor thinks the car needs its lights on.

The problems could be related, but the fuse is the first thing I'd check for the wipers. As for the headlights, this is beyond my experience. -- Everything I know I learned from my cat: When you're hungry, eat. When you're tired, nap in a sunbeam.

When I was in Germany over Christmas there were many road signs recommending it but I guess it's not a law yet. From a website I found: The obligation to drive with lights on – in some places since the 70s – already exists in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Iceland, Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Hungary and Italy. In Germany, Switzerland and France, car drivers are recommended to drive with their lights on during the day. |

Maybe the signs were before tunnels...
