Re: Intermittent wiper problem
My wiper has recently developed a mind of its own. On starting up it might refuse to operate without a bit of jiggling. Or it might start up automatically without being asked. I guess it has something to do with the switch but I have no idea how to get at it!

Re: Intermittent wiper problem
I'd start with the easy checks of removing the fuses and relays (intermittent wipe) and cleaning the spades.
Sounds like something is damp or bad connection.

Re: Intermittent wiper problem
If the wiper starts up (without being switched on) straight after engine starting, then look to the engine earth strap, as the high current can cause a back-feed enough to move the wiper from park.
