Self Parking Wipers - NOT

Well they do in normal use but not when I use wash-wipe. (Sorry Series owners this is fancy new technology and you can now smirk happily cos it's broke)

I had the dash out recently to change a bulb, but can't think how that could effect it. When I use wash wipe the wipers just come to rest more or less at random. Switch to wipe or intermittent wipe and they park as normal.

It's a 1998 50th Ann V8 Defender 90. Any suggestions? Is it just a case of having a more careful look for some disconnected wires? Hopefully the wiring diagram is roughly similar to a TD5.

Interesting, but mine only fails when using wash wipe. In intermittent or normal use the wipers park correctly.

Hugh,

The part is approx =A38......it's the cheapest option when you see the price of the steering column stalk and actual wiper motor.

I'd be swap it out anyway

cheers Gavin

Thanks Gavin. I think I'll do that when I get round to taking the dash out. I've got some other things I want to do so I'll do it all together. In the meantime all I've got to do is switch to intermittent before I push the wash wipe and it all works OK.
