premacyblue Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Has anyone had this problem recently. I have a 2007 1.4 HDi which has a peculiar wiper problem. After I switched off me wipers they park normally and I switch the engine off. However, when I go back to the car a few hours later the wipers are fully up on the windscreen. This has happened several times now. Is this a common electrical problem? Quote
raveydavey Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Forgive me asking, but you couldn't be catching the wiper stalk as you get out of the car without noticing could you? A quick tap of the stalk after the ignition is switched off results in what you're experiencing - a second tap returns the wipers to the parked position. Quote
stimulator Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 If the wiper stalk is moved downwards after the ignition is switched OFF they will go to the vertical position. This is intentional and is to allow easier removal of the blades when they require servicing. If the delay is more than 90 secs they do not move. If they are vertical for more than 90 secs then you need to swicth on the ignition to get them to go to OFF position. Quote
