Hi there, I have the same problem but unfortunately I cant find the part in our country. What if I just unplug it and leave it as it is.?

Hi. I replaced microswicth and shaft pivot i assembled as it should but dont know why the wiper arm its not moving. The open and close works any idea?
@theautomotiveapproach9 ай бұрын
Could be the motor has failed or it hasn’t been plugged in when reassembled? Also worth checking fuses just in case
@78Ladyinblack9 ай бұрын
Failed how? It's just one plug or I missing something? If the window open with the switch why the motor of the wiper shouldn't work. I'll check the fuse as well but I doubt. It's the second motor I ordered the first one was stiff so this other one seems fine as free
@theautomotiveapproach9 ай бұрын
@@78Ladyinblack The wiper motor and tailgate switch are two completely separate things, chances are it's a bad wiper motor (these fail over time as do most things), it hasn't been installed properly or it's a fuse

Very clear and precise vid Followed your step by step guide to the point of removing the locking mechanism.... then.... found that the previous one owner from new must have had a water leak into the boot area ,and employed a monkey who has sealed the lock to spindle to the point of impossible removal of spindle without risk of breaking the glass. I only wanted to open the window to get access to the "diversity aerial" in the spoiler on the hatch,as the fob to car communication has failed a unable to use the remote. This BMW ( my wife bought it)is the pest car whose gifts never end for me!

Hi, Maybe you can advise? E91 I have an odd issue. I get a tailgate open warning light on the dash intermittantly. The glass door or tailgate are not actually open and the interior boot light doesn't come on. But I can hear the boot cover switch clicking just like I have opened the glass door and the cover wants to go up.. I am sure it must be a faulty switch somewhere. What do you think? Any help would be appriciated. Thank you
@theautomotiveapproach11 ай бұрын
This could be a couple of things, you may have a wiring fault in the tailgate wiring. Where the harness bends as the boot opens and closes, over time the cables will start to crack. You normally get a few other problems like remote locking not working or poor radio signal. Alternatively It could well be actual boot lock actuator itself rather than the tailgate glass, fairly easy job, you’ll have to take the entire boot trim off to get access to it. It’s only a few bolts and a plug to undo. Hope this helps! 👍
@Sageh4411 ай бұрын
@@theautomotiveapproach Thank you for the heads up. I will do a little more trouble shooting. But wondered if there was a switch to detect the glass on the tailgate is open or is that all in with the actuator?

Would like to add that sometimes the whole thing is not so easy to get rid of! You have to use a plastic wedge that is a bit wider and higher, about 5mm between the disc and the wiper axle bearing, then separate it from the button! It's insanely difficult to get off because the rubber has seized on the button!
