306 - window wipers playing up - Rob H 85

hi im just wondering if any one has had this problem before.

my window wipers work fine on all settings apart from auto (when u push the lever down so it wipes once) the wiper will come up but stick half way back down i have to keep tapping the switch down to line it back up.

if i use washers they work spot on untill the last stroke, again only going half way back down and staying there.

cheers for any help

Well-known issue. Almost certain to be the wiper motor, within which are the various electrical contacts controlling wiper position etc.

New motor required. Don't get one from a scrappie - you won't know if it's functional.

If it's not the motor it might be the wiper switch on the steering-wheel stalk, but I'd suspect the motor first.
