Windscreen wiper motor problems

[Paxo1]

My wipers packed in today on my Griff 500 whilst driving in the rain, they do work, but only on the fastest setting and will not park automatically.
I've been through all the electrical checks at the wiper motor with my multimeter and it all checks out ok, intermittent, first and second speed....i checked both sides of the parking switch, in and out....all fine.
It seems a little odd ( to my simple mind anyway) that if the motor is knacked that it will still operate on the fastest setting.....is it time for a new motor ? Anyone had a similar problem ?

Cheers

Yes, goes funny on intermittent and full speed works. Suggest you speak to Adrian who can repair them - 07956 956042.
Don't leave it as the motor can get very hot snd start a fire.

When mine did that it was simply a loose relay down in the fuse box.
