Hi everyone,
Yet another minor electrical annoyance or "feature" with my Marea.
The wipers won't park - that is they stop where they are the instant I turn them off. Using the single flick function makes them move but only until the instant I release the lever.
Intermittant is working as normal speed. Normal speed and fast are working as normal, but as soon as you turn them off from any position, they stop where they are.
I was thinking that there must be the same type of contacts inside on the gearwheel as there are on the rear motor, so I stripped the motor and found them. At first I was hopeful because everything was gunked up in grease - so I cleaned it all up and bent the contacts slightly to make a better contact. A quick look at the circuit board on the motor doesn't reveal anything obvious, but I don't really know what I am looking for if I am honest - all wiring looks OK.
Are there any other things I can check, or do I need to replace the motor?
