My '97 328i has wipers that are stopping. The wipers will run for a few minutes and then cut off. If I stop the car and restart the wipers will also restart for a few minutes. The window washer concurrently has also stopped working. Blown fuse or wiper motor?
If someone can help me before the next rain I am VERY grateful!

I dont know if its any relevance but the wipers on E36 will stop when the car is stopped (moving) and will start wiping again when the car moves off.

I thought I had a similar problem, till I read the owners handbook.

If thats not the issue, maybe a fuse or earth wire. Seems funny both stop working at the same time.

One day it was raining and i had the wipers going medium speed. I can to a round about and i noticed they got slower. I told my dad and he said "you been taking drugs? there exactly the same"

Now i got proof! lmfao
