alright,
was driving down the motorway the other day, it started to rain, turned my wiper on, they went half way up the screen then stopped, and would not work again - i could push them up and down the screen, but they dont power themselves.
took the wiper motor off the next day - greased it all up - was fine - power wipeage!!

now tonight - raining again - they move up the screen and stop again!!! arrgh!! they dont work on any setting - slow fast or one wipe ???

any ideas?
the wiper motor was changed for a "good working order" unit in september

the motor is a 2 speed self park motor

thanks

Could be the wheel boxes or the linkage under the scuttle which is sticking. You need to take the lot off, re-grease and put it back (providing it's all in order). PITA job though!

Think you need new wheel boxes and rack. Or try tightening the nuts holding the wheelbox halves together. How tight does the wiper motor gearbox cover fit? Did you strip the screw threads when you replaced it?
