Wipers parking randomly

[TV8]

The wipers have stopped parking correctly on the intermittent setting. They stop all over the place, both when switched off and whilst in use. Full settings seem fine.

This all started whilst on a very wet weekend away in Europe and I wondered if it was water in the electrics somewhere as its was the worst rain the car has probably ever seen and it was in it for hours! Until yesterday, when I needed to clean the screen and it happened again.

Is this likely to be the switch or a relay issue?

Any suggestin appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks everyone. Will give it a try and let you know how it goes!

It does have a wiper motor on the right hand side. I will have a look tonight. Seems like an easy test....

Thanks

I have a tiny garage and have parked it to close to the wall on the passenger side to get a proper look but said item looks relatively dirty compared with other bits under the bonnet, so a clean up or replacement should sort it which is great news.

Thanks everyone

Got to spend some time under the bonnet sorting a couple of things today and the wipers are now working properly! The female connectors into the park switch seemed worse than the male connectors on the switch itself. Hopefully, it will be fine in future.

THanks everyone

Normal story of married life.... last night Mrs B talked about us arranging a party net year for our 25th wedding anniversary. We talked about not having it bank holiday weekend as so many people are away. Prompted by someone elses anniversary pics on Facebook this morning, I realised that I have forgotten about our anniversary...again! So far, I have got away with it!

well, bit of an up-date..

I took the car out over the weekend and whilst enjoying the effortless power, noise and fun encountered a very localised flood and hit it at enough speed to have splashes of water come over the top of the windscreen!!!!

Neither car nor driver enjoyed this and the wipers, which have been used even less than the car lately, are back on sulk mode - cleaning clearly wasn't enough, so new part on order.

Interesting to read this post as I have just literally booked the 25th wedding anniversary party, so clearly becoming more organised...
