Window Wiper Assistance

Good Afternoon All,
Its been quite a while since i thought to ask as the resting position of Hessy's window wipers is at 12 o clock instead of 1500hrs and it has been that way for a year now.

How it happened - May have no due cause but I was parking when the wipers were on, indicator was placed on and then I turned on the hazard lights and then the rain stopped, so i turned the wipers off (accidentally the wrong way turning on full pelt then straight to off position )and they stopped half way up the screen.

Over the course of a few days their resting place moved around the place over the screen and eventually have settled at 12 o clock.
They work fine and as long as they don't block my view - they are grand

Happen any one else? - Any Ideas? I was thinking that there is a contact in the motor assembly has come loose and shifted 90 degrees. Never took one apart before so don't want to take the chance in-case i wreck it

Thanks

Thanks Paddy - but its both wipers exactly the same positioning.
So the sweep starts at 12 o clock, opens anticlockwise to 11 o clock and then goes down the full window sweep clockwise to three o clock and then back up anticlockwise to 12 o clock

Sorry about that All those clocks in there Thought it was Pink Floyd for a while

So i think it is inside the motor or the relay where the issue is - the controller area - or both would act differently / independently and cause havock on the windscreen

Cheers Ally
Wonder how you test a relay = or where this particular relay is fitted?
Maybe close to the motor??

Wow - Speedy Response Ally. Cheers

Will give it a go some sunny day

Beat me to it. This would be my guess too.

Cheers Lads -
If the relay was knackered - the wipers wouldn't work at all - but they do - so the spindle seems an excellent target to check out
I will have a squidgen inside tonight if i get a chance and come back to you.


Wonder it is an Nylon or Brass Bush having wear/tear or might it have been a Nylon connector expanding in the wet and giving way to the mechanical motor force?

Big all - you have removed the fear of wrecking the motor while going into the unknown and perhaps having to arrange two rope attachments for the other half to operate the wipers while i drive this weekend

I don't think manufacturers use nylon/brass parts for the primary drive on wipers, where the motor attaches to the arm but I may be mistaken. I'm not 100% familiar with Hymers!

I've done the "two rope trick" with fked wipers in the past, not much fun!! lol

Good luck.
