Yes, although seen it cheaper in other motor accessory places. Most they're worth is a tenner in my view. I'd take yours off, apply 12v to it and see if it actually works first. Could just be a bad connection or broken wire in the circuit.

spot on!
took wiring of old one off - wriggled the wires - drop of wd -
'might as well try it again before getting a new one' -
works fine! - :ok
all good -
thanks for the suggestion -
for future reference - how to test power reaching motor?
ign on - multi meter set to 12v - willing accomplice pressing wiper stalk -
black lead on multi meter to an earth - red lead (hopefully) to live wire going to motor -
should read 12v?
be good to know :)

Ah, glad that sorted it Edoh. Nice when it cost nothing other than time.
