wipers wont turn off!
got in the car tonight after work and it had been raining, turned wipers on but they wont turn off now when the engine is running!
is it run from a relay in the fuse box area? if so which one is it so i can check it.
any ideas what it could be?

Hi Optimusprimer
Looks like it could be the self park switch in the motor . You no when you operate the intermittant wipe the wipers do one clean sweep then turn them selves off and go to the bottom of the screen ? Well if this fails they will stay on . The motor is supplied with a permanant live for this facility + it allows the wipers to self park at the base of the windsceen .
You may need to strip and clean the motor and the gear assembly . If its faulty a MK2 will provide a good replacement [search the forum for how] Furbers at Heapham has 2 in stock
Cheers Chudd………….

Is it just the wipers or does the washer run too? Lights on or off? I had that a while ago, when the sidelights were on, and the fault disappeared when the fusebox was lifted out. There was a short between the wires behind the fusebox, which has now vanished (permanently, I hope!)
