Hi

I have a 2001 Corsa C which has a problwm with its intemittent wipe action.
When you try to set it for intermittent, the wipers stop half-way across the
windscreen. The auto park action also fails when in normal and fast wipe
settings.

I've replaced the motor and checked the linkage, which both seem fine.

Anyone have an idea as to what could be causing the problem?

Constant live feed to the motor or the park switch inside the motor is
faulty.

You can check for the voltage to the motor - one should be there for as
long as the ignition is turned on and one just as the wiper switch is
turned on. If the constant one is there, its likely the internal
switch.

I had a similar problem once and it turned out to be the fuse.

Thanks All. I'll check the relay and fuse at the weekend.
