Wipers stop when the car does!

rovertone · 25th February 2020, 16:34

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.
