I replaced the front wiper amp today because my wipers do not work. If I turn them on full and then off they wipe twice and stop. Any ideas?

They don't work at all in any position though. Only when I turn off I get 2 wipes - that's it!

Take your wiper switch apart and check the contacts, you may have a dodgy switch. There are 3 lugs to prize apart and switch comes apart, be careful not to lose the ball bearing at the rear of the white plastic rod of the switch, thats what makes the click noise, but more importantly keeps the switch in position.

 

The two wipes at finish is standard, on intermittent the wiper sits at a low position on the screen, then off goes to rest, which is below the normal working home level.

Have you checked the fuse and relay?

I am sure the power to the switch is different feed to the 2 wipes when turned off??

I am going to have a look for wiring diagram.....

I fixed it!! Checked fuses under footwell (ok) I removed the control panel from the dash, blew into the connections with my magic breath and put it all back together. Works a treat now :tooth:
