if the stalk is held on in the one wipe position, then its fine.......
the gear wheel inside the motor may have a "swipe switch contact" that is a bad contact when the wipers momentarily "stop"??
I have yet to disassemble ours to check but old style lucas and others have this self park method, cant remember if the "rotating contact" via the gear wheel is live or earthed......
does anyone have a motor of the car at the moment and could look inside, a picture of the inside and gear wheel etc would be fantastic!
my original motor failed - wouldn't park. got it out, pulled the gearbox cover off to find three contacts to concentric rings. auto-wipe was the one that had corroded & sheared off.
pulled open the s/h replacement to check all ok, greased all with Vaseline, then fitted it to car.
if my knackered camera still works, ill see if I can put a pic up.
It goes, it stops (as reqd).
