Hi!

Sometimes, but in recent times more frequently, it happens that the windscreen wipers would work erratically, e.g. if I choose intermittent operation, then they will randomly do two or three "wipes" instead of one. Also, sometimes if one wants to stop the wipers, they would continue their operation for some wipes then stop.

I noticed it may happen that the wipers don't stop in their correct position, but in a little bit higher position.

I read that the wiper electric motor has some contact for knowing there it should stop, could it be it got worn and so, while not sensing the end position correctly, it starts another "wipe" until it senses the stop position?

The relais in fuse box and wiper lever themselves seems to be working just fine, I can select all the intermittent speeds, only sometimes I got more wipes than needed... :mad:

Thank you!
