Title: Windshield wipers fuse location
Post by: Rdcd on December 07, 2020, 02:59:10 pm
Re: 2000 U320
My smart wheel is acting crazy and I can't shut the wipers off. Any suggestions? Or is there a fuse I can pull. Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.

You should have a removable panel below the dash immediately in front of the copilot seat.  Behind that panel is a bunch of circuit breakers.  Good possibility you will find the wiper breaker there.  You'll need your electrical system diagram to ID the correct breaker.

This diagram might be similar to yours:  https://www.foreforums.com/index.php?action=media;sa=media;in=3300

If you can locate the breaker, remove the power wire (looks like wire 87 WH on the above diagram).

If you are not familiar with this panel, each breaker is labeled with a number and its amperage. The photo shows number 15 on my panel which is the wiper, same as the one Chuck posted.

Thank you both very much. I just removed # 87 15A connection.
My Smart Wheel isn't so smart anymore. I need to figure out what can be done to fix it. It has been turning on the wipers when applying my cruise and not responding to turning it off.
Thank you again I really appreciate your help. Ray

Ray,

Trouble shooting SmartWheel is above my pay grade.  A quick search of the Forum (and Google) turned up the following info:
