Windscreen wipers... Stahp.

So with the lovely downpour that cleared up the snow this weekend, I had to use my wipers on FULL for I think the first time. Anyway, they won't stop now when I set them to the off setting, they keep periodically/randomly wiping. Is it a case of changing the switch/lever itself or is there a fix?

Is it the intermitant setting thet they have reverted to because if so that is probably a relay or switch fault.

No, sometimes I think they aren't gonna do it and then they surprise me by wiping 3 or 4 times in a row in quick succession. Its a 200tdi by the way

The park has gone on mine after using them for 5 hours the other day....

My intermittent setting now causes them to wipe continuously. Guess its the park switch or summat?

Moisture in the relay? Perhaps try and quick squirt of WD40?

Mine has now started to do that after driving back from Scotland today

Replace the relay ( red one) , its only a fiver, it solved same problem on mine but only after I had replaced the wiper motor and stalk switch - should have tried the cheapest fix first.

I'll try a relay and see if it solves my problem.

park switch on the wiper motor, put it into google. Mines also gone but as it's a 24v wolf it's a new motor...arrrrggh
