wipers failing to park causes a drain problem on the L322, not sure that applies to the P38. Washer should not drain the battery unless it runs when it should not.

thanks Datatek fingers crossed they should be OK the only thing that worried me was when I joined the wires (with the keys in my pocket) the wipers swiped 3 times but I have found before that a lot of things work on a negative feed thanks Andy
