Rear Wiper Problem...

[X4MGS]

Replace the wiper motor, it's on it's way out... Mine currently doing exactly the same thing and yes, it is bloody annoying stopping half way thru the swipe

I've got plenty of spares so will pop a new one on tomorrow...

It will be a broken wire, common fault that i had to do myself recently.

I'll check those too, but I doubt its a wire as it actually works...

Had the same. It parked different place every time.
Thought the wires were ok utill i pulled one and found some black tape on an end of a wire.

Mine parks in the same place every time... Just either at the | or _ position...

Broken wire syndrome, wiper could well still park! also check that No plate lamps are still working. Pull the rubber sheathing back, and have a proper look, and also give the wires a tug, just incase the wire may have broken inside its own plastic coating...
If you find broken wires, don't just solder them back together, add a new 8 inch piece in, so you can tuck the wire back into the roof, and leave brand new wire, where it is most vulnerable to break again... should last another 20 years

Wires it is then.... 1st inst...

Sure I have a complete tailgate loom lying around (somewhere)... I know mine has had a new tailgate in the past and the wires had been cut (fecking lazy body shop)... Only takes 10 minutes to pull the whole loom out in 1 pc...

Have to kill the ignition and start it agen on the move to stop it.
