Wipers stop when the car does!
Over the last few days I have noticed that when my wipers are on normal operation they stop when I come to a stop. This doesn't happen every time, if I switch to either fast speed or intermittent and back they start up again and work normally.
Prior to this a good while back I was having problems with the rain sensing operation so I disconnected the sensor and the wipers reverted to manual intermittent operation and all worked normally. I recall on my last 75 a 99 2.0 V6 the wipers in normal mode used to slow down when the car slowed down but they didn't stop. Any pointers to where to start looking would be most welcome please.

I thought they dropped down one setting when the car stopped. normal dropping to intermittent and intermittent to "off" then when you move off they resume their correct function

As Bluebird states, intelligent wipe.
T4 or TOAF can turn it on or off.

Oh yes very intelligent, but it took me a few years to discover this when we first purchased our 75 diesel Connoisseur back in 2002.
Worse still I didn’t know until recently you can drop down the glovebox lid another notch to gain better access to the CD multichanger. On most modern cars now there seems to be a few “hidden secrets” |

Thanks for your input folks, something to think about, seems like mine might have switched itself over to 'intellegent' mode without any intervention by man or machine!
I'll keep an eye on it see how it goes but how stupid to have your wipers stop, great at road junctions in a rainstorm!
