front wipers not parking when switched off just stop where they happen to be when shut off, any ideas please

Hi,
Welcome to the forum

I've not had the wipers to bits myself so I can only give general help on this one. Someone else may have more info.

You should have a live feed at the motor plug when the ignition key is at the auxillary (MAR) position. If this is not there then the problem is likely to be the wiring between and including the switch to motor. If the feed is there, (this is the bit i'm guessing at), there should be a switch/cam inside the motor assembly that puts a feed onto the motor when it's not parked.

So what i'm saying is, check to see if you have a feed at the motor. If yes prob motor fault, strip it if you can. If not then prob wiring/switch fault.

Let us know how you get on, or if you are still stuck.

Dave.
