96 1.2 Wipers not returning - pjt201
Hi,

The wiper fuse blew in my Clio this morning. I have replaced it, but now the wipers don't return to the "home" position when switched off. Intermittent, low and high speeds all work. Is this a problem with a sensor in the motor or the relay? Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like you turned the wipers on when they were stuck to the screen?

if so its probably the wipers need resetting to the parked position? Undo the nuts where they are mounted, place them in the ideal parked position, re tighten the nuts and try that?

if still a problem, let us know?

In what position do the wipers stop when they're switched off ~ i.e. how far from the normal home/parked position?
