Terminator Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I think this may be a first:( Wiper relay fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Park position switch in motor has failed, so it never gets the off signal when they reach the park position. New motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Originally posted by Chris Wilson Park position switch in motor has failed, so it never gets the off signal when they reach the park position. New motor. It could still be the relay. I had the same trouble on my BMW and replaced the motor for no good reason at great expense. Turned out to be the £10 relay. Replace or swap out the cheaper part first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrose7 Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 the wipers are sometimes do stay off, like this morning i drove 38miles and had no problems with it in the off position, then i pull into work and they come on :s seems like a short somewhere?

dangerous brain Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Does it come on at the same rate each time as well?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrose7 Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 yes, its like the first speed, also the delay for the wipers doesnt work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Is there a control box between the switchgear and the motor? Sounds a bit like chaffed wiring or a dry solder joint but don't quote me on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Like Darren says, investigate the problem first and try to find out which component is causing the problem. Then, if it is the motor, give me a shout as I have one for sale if you want it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
