rear wiper

[backflipper]

Another wee problem, the rear wiper...i have to push the stalk away from me an hold it inthat position for it to do a full sweep. Stalk problem or relay do u reckon? It stops were ever it is wen I release the stalk, an dont return to the park position!

it could be either really, or a problem at the back, eliminate it the easiest problem at a time, i had a similar problem and it was resolved by pulling out the relays, cleaning the hell out of them and putting them back, somehow that fixed things which is amazing cos i still to this day have no idea which was the one for said wiper so i did them all, and dont fret if that doesnt sort it, move on to the stalk then i guess, post a wanted advert up and im sure youll get one fairly handy

check the fuse box.

Ok, sounds like a good start. U jus clean out the contacts in the relays....with brake cleaner or.summit?
Chris- ill have a look in the fuse box, but its workin, so im guessin not a fuse problem? Its jus aint doin its sweep with one press.of the wiper stalk, if u know wot I mean?

if you search you will see that the failing to park issue is generally a fuse problem, relates to both the front and rear wiper.

It is possible the motor has a defective park switch but 99 times out of 100 its a fuse issue.
