check the wiper spindles are not seized up, I have had a couple of these do the same thing. Remove the arm from the motor and make sure they move freely

KEYBOARD CHANGE, HANG ON

yES PRETTY SURE YOUR WIPER MOTOR IS ~~~~ED, REMOVE IT OFF
sorry caps lock, off the car and remove the back of the motor, you will see 'the bottom of a pie dish - with a slice out of it', squirt this with UB40 and use a flapper wheel on a Dremmel to make it shiny and happy.

Then clean all the grease off the 'fingers' and lather in grease, refit, like dibber said, check the spindals are seized for good measure

If this works great, if it don't you had to eliminate it!!

Feel free to report back, dude.

Looks like micro switch in wiper motor that controls the relay

Go to the breakers and get yourself a 2nd hand motor its the quickest and cheapest fix.

Hi

To me i think you need another wiper motor mate.....its a common fault on them.

I'll see about posting a link to a guide tonight cant find it now, its handy, along the lines of soldering 1 contact, only thing is motor is riveted so these must be drilled and re-riveted. Is there second hand ones left where you guys live? theres none in Ireland lol, funniest thing though since I came across the guide I havent seen a motor failure, before it would have been one a week!

Sorry boys no pics but when you open the cover of the motor theres 3 contacts, the auto park contact is broke/bent/burnt so solder a piece to the end or whatever. Another hint is to put an inline fuse on the red wire going into the motor so if the mechanism sticks/freezes this blows instead of the park contact as the biggest reason for failure is this, hope this helps.
