But he also said that it happens in all the other settings as well ...

Martin; looking at the circuit diagram the BCU controls all wiper functions. There's a conventional switch inside the wiper motor assembly which closes when the blades reach the parked position. This signal is sent to the BCU. It's ignored if the stalk is set to keep the wipers running. However when the stalk is moved to switch off the wipers, the BCU detects this and begins to take notice of the state of the motor switch. When the blades next reach the parked position and the switch closes, the BCU cuts the power to the motor and the wipers stop. Your mechanic was wise to re-seat the relays. Since that has not been successful I would urge you to ask him to re-seat the motor connector as I recommended in post no. 4. If there's a dirty connection here in the parking switch circuit, the BCU won't know when the blades have reached the parked position and won't remove the motor power supply. Simon

Simon. I was under the impression that a contact opened and broke the circuit. A bit like the brake pad sensors but I could easily be barking up the wrong tree.--- |

wipers gone mad

Martin I have met this many times on my own 75s and on others I have never tracked down the cause but My thoughts are with the loom where it comes through the bulkhead at the fuse box. To date I have had success every time by changing the wiper stalk switch. this fix has lasted on every car I have done it to, bar one which i had to replace a second time. It can be a nightmare as when they start for no reason in the middle of the night the car alarm goes off. Tourers are more prone to the problem than saloons. As I have said replacing the stalk switch has worked for me every time but I have never tracked down the problem. |
