Wiper Park Half Way Up Screen

[jasrey]

Hi I have a Citreon C5 hdi 2002, when I use my wipers they wipe correctly but park half way up the screen. While wiping they go to the correct position on the screen . Has any one got any ideas what may be causing this.

 

I did think it was a service mode but I have tried all options found on the inter to no avail

 

Thanks

First of all you could try a BSI reset.   If things are the same after that then suspect the Comms 2000.   That's the switching unit under the steering wheel.

Hi thanks for that, How do I reset the Bsi

Hi I found this on a forum

 

 

Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off.

Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition.

Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds.

Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.).

Switch on the side lights through the driver's window.

Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality.

Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds.

Remove key open & close door test central locking system.

Start the engine and complete the system's check.

Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items.

 

the only bit that confuses me is:

 

Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds

 

Do you do this while the ignition is on ?.

 

I would have thought that it would not do anything. From experience if you have disconnected the battery the central locking will not work unless you shut the bonnet first, then lock and unlock the car.

 

Any thoughts

 

Thanks

Yes - hold the lock button while the ignition is turned on but don't start the engine.

When you turn the engine off and remove the ignition key, if you then move the wiper switch arm, do the wipers go to the vertical park position which allows wiper replacement, or do they go to the normal park position - just in case somebody has had the wiper mechanism removed and not put it back right. Or, have you had the car some time and it has just started to do this on its own without any previous work done on it ?
