    Default Wipers not parking

    Wipers aren't parking correctly on the sport, anyone know if this is motor switch or relay related?

    I suspect relay but wondered if anyone has any ideas before I swap everything



    Oh and first post in electrical bit????

    as riggy - just pull the arm linking wipers to motor, when its rested, until wipers are then at bottom of screen.

    Mark I have exactly the same problem, I'm looking at earths or a faulty relay... or a knackered motor

    I'll let you know how I get on.

    Does it only happen on intermitent or slow? If the motor is weak, it wont get back before the relay clicks off.
