I don't know anything about cars that new but my '83 240D once had trouble
with the wipers and the problem was the stalk being dirty. In my case the
solution was to pop the end of the stalk off, think pulling it apart
horizontally. Then I coated the contacts with DeOxit and put it back together.
I don't remember the details, it was more than 10 years ago.
Otherwise a replacement of the stalk would have been required, cleaning was a
much better solution...

Hi All,
Today I took out my 2004 Mercedes Benz E320 (89K) 4Matic for it's annual
NYS inspection. The car spends most of the time in the garage with very
limited use. I went to turn on the window wipers and they did not work in any
of the positions. The wipers do work when I pushed in the arm to activate the
wiper fluid for a cleaning. I don't remember the last time I checked the
wipers.
I checked the fuses even though the wiper motor did work in the wash
position so there is power. Research pointed to a faulty "combination switch".
That repair is a bit involved so I am reaching out for any other suggestions
before undertaking removing the steering wheel, air bag etc to replace the
"combination switch".
Thanks in advance!
