Hi
When I switch the ignition on my wipers always start as well, I've changed the relay and can't see any other obvious issue, any ideas anyone?
Thx

I had this happen to me and if I remember correctly under the flywheel there is a step that controls the stop position. Mine had fell off.
You will need to strip it down to fix it in place.
Pain but not difficult

Something is creating a permanent live feed. Possibly worn wiring at the wiper switch, or on the way to the wiper motor.

Choice 1: trace the wiring yourself
Choice 2: pay a proper bloke who understands electrics to do it for you.

Is it likely to be a faulty "Park Switch" that is allowing current through when it shouldn't.

Situated on Passenger nearside wing under the wiper motor - a water trap so they do corrode with time.

see here about half-way down the page
