Wipers don't return to parked position

sp33der · Jul 6, 2008

Hi, my wipers don't return to the parked position, in fact on intermittant, they just go up and stop there. I'm guessing/hoping it's just a relay but as we just bought the car yesterday and I haven't even got a manual yet, I was wondering if anyone can advise me which relay and where they are?
Thanks

Half Mast Wipers - try this

Thanks, quick reply! I'm hoping my prob's not so serious, the wipers do work fine in normal mode but when I switch 'em off, they just stop wherever they are and don't park.

No idea then, just did a quick search, wasn't sure if that was any help.

Do a search for RAVE. When you find the link, download and burn to disc and there's one of the best manuals you can get.

RAVE says the relay is behind the right hand side trim panel.

Thanks for all info! D/loading RAVE now too.......anyone know a Land Rover spares dealer in Surrey?

Don't worry about it too much, it's all in the timin'. Switch them on and wait 'til a certain point tae switch them back off.. It's quite easy when ye get the hang of it and comes like second nature

aint there a mirco switch on the wiper motor that controls the park position?

my guess is thats fooked or stuck in

bustersbus · Jul 7, 2008

Or maybe summit to do with the contacts on the stalk?

Or the plastic noggin that operates the turny off switch on the motor is worn or clagged up.
