Hello, my wiper parking switch has gone, just had the new one delivered and using http://www.chimaerapages.com/resources_wiper.php to fit it, the only problem is that I cant see the wiper motor, I expected to open the bonnet and it to be there with flashing neon lights on it ,but its not! Could someone tell me where to look for it and the best way to access it please. Im not very good with this sort of thing, the most advanced work I have ever done is clean the stepper motor! Oh yes its a 2001 face lift 4.5 if that helps, and im waiting on amazon to get my bible delivered to me (gutted I gave my first bible away when I sold the first chimp).

Thanks,
Jon.

Luckily for you i'm looking at my bible right now, text says-

The wiper motor

This is located under the bonnet on the passenger side, right at the back on most cars although on the year 2000 and later cars it appears to have moved inside the car behind the bulkhead in approximately the same position. This was done to prevent water ingress damaging the parking switch- a common problem with the system and one thats is covered in more detail later in this chapter

Hope that helps

Matt
