Big favour for my stupid rear wiper!

[Mr Blue]

its in the lay flat position deffa. forgot to mention that.

mine goes up and back down again without any pauses

Looks like my motor is dying thena it only does half a turn! I just ordered one today £15 delivered! hopefully that will fix it

Thanks for all your help, i'll post pics of my Fiat marea wiper when it comes

[Deefadog]

Right! that's it i am scraping her

I changed over the motor and it's still the same!

So i have tried 2 different motors, 2 different relays, 2 different wiper stalks!  What else could it be?

The motor turns aniclockwise for about 1.5 - 2 seconds! each time and coinsides with the relay clicks!

Should it turn one way and then the other?

[...joe]

take it off and smooth up the rear end!!! you know its the only way!

[Deefadog]

I did that on my last one, it did look good! but i aint got the funds at the moment

My Fiat Marea wiper arm looks the dogs though!

[Organisys]

Could be broken wire from tailgate into car?? 

[Deefadog]

Yeah, i am going to check that, maybe it needs to signals or something to return??

If it is a broken wire i will beat it first then repair it

When i got my last gti the wiper was rusted solid. When i swapped it over and put it back i got the same problem you got that the wiper woudn't return.

Don't know if this is the same but it was because i hadn't put the push rod things from the motor to the wiper arm back on in the correct position. Once i checked a friends golf and put them back correctly it worked fine. It did take me a while of messing around first though, it all looked fine i swear....! Thinking my relay was knackered and stuff...

Anyway i hope yours is the same!

[Deefadog]

you mean the rods could be on the wrong way around or something? I know Sir Blue took pics i'll see if i can make out from them if not and you feel like taking a few shot of the whole area, go for it would help out to see different ones anyway.

cheers
