Since I bought the car last Oct there has been a problem with the wipers.. Switch them on, they don't switch off until you turn off the ignition. So bit of sunshine and a friendly spark we set about discovering why. Totally mystified, wiring good relay working, we could hear something clicking. Earth tested and the motor appeared to reset, bingo working with ignition on.. Wow great.. Turn on engine.. Mm mm mm not parking, back to square one. Took the wipers off and reset those. There's a contact in the motor opened and closed by a wheel. Wipers set to park higher, double bingo..... Working wipers. Moral of the story.. Test the wiper motor with no blades fitted and the wipers don't need to be set at the bottom of the screen.
