Introduction
Welcome to Grafco Electric, your trusted source for comprehensive automotive electrical solutions. In this article, we will dive deep into the common problems and failures associated with the wiper drive mechanism in Mercedes-Benz W116, W123, and W126 chassis vehicles. Our team of experts specializes in diagnosing and resolving such issues, ensuring the optimal performance of your vehicle's wiper system.
Understanding Wiper Drive Mechanism Failure
The wiper drive mechanism is a critical component of the wiper system in your Mercedes-Benz W116, W123, or W126 chassis vehicle. It is responsible for transferring power from the wiper motor to the wiper arms, allowing them to move across the windshield and clear the view for the driver.
Over time, however, the wiper drive mechanism can experience various problems and failures, leading to inefficient or complete wiper system failure. Some of the common issues include:
1. Worn Linkage and Pivot Joints
Due to continuous use and exposure to various weather conditions, the linkage and pivot joints of the wiper drive mechanism can wear out. This can result in erratic wiper movement, excessive noise, or even complete wiper malfunction.
2. Motor Gear Wear
The gears within the wiper motor can wear down over time, affecting the smooth operation of the wiper drive mechanism. This can lead to intermittent wiper movements, inconsistent speed, or wipers getting stuck in one position.
3. Frayed or Broken Wiper Transmission Cables
Wiper transmission cables connect the wiper motor to the wiper arms, enabling their synchronized movement. If these cables become frayed, damaged, or broken, the wipers may fail to move altogether, leaving the windshield uncleaned.
4. Electrical Connection Issues
Poor electrical connections between the wiper motor and the vehicle's electrical system can cause intermittent wiper operation or complete failure. Corroded connectors, loose wiring, or blown fuses are common culprits behind such issues.
