Hi,

When windscreen wipers are flicked for a single wipe or stopped during
screen wipe they stop immediately and do not return to their park position.
If they are on intermittent they return to park between wipes (although come
up an inch from the bottom of the wipe) but also stop immediately if the
stalk is put to stop position. I thought this ight be a simple relay swap,
but someone started talking to me about switches in the motor arm
registering the park position....

Is this a relay or something somewhere else in the mechanism???

Thanks,
Toby

When it happened on my 2003 SE wagon [US], it was the relay and it was
covered under the warranty.
