On the Volkswagen Caddy in the video, the wipers do not work, even though both the switch and the motor and control module have already been replaced. The problem at this point was broken wires internally, likely damaged by mechanical movement or incorrect routing of the cables.

The repair involves restoring the broken wires and repositioning them correctly, away from moving mechanisms, and additionally protecting them with insulating tape. Then the wipers work: it was just a broken wire after months in the workshop and unnecessarily replaced components.

The moral is that wiring, especially on older vehicles, should always be checked before replacing expensive components.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
