Hi
My rear wiper packed in last week on a very frosty morning. I think I might have left it switched on from the previous night and started the car up early to clear the frost from the windows without thinking that the rear wiper blade might be frozen to the screen.
When I stripped the motor down I discovered that the shaft the nylon cog runs on has sheared. It is part of the casing but with a bit of work I have managed to repair it successfully.
My problem is that when it is switched on to do the spray and wipe cycle it works fine but when I switch it to intermittent it jerks about all over the place. Maybe moving 10 degrees or so at a time.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it likely to be the control unit fitted to the wiper motor and if it is can they be sourced on their own?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
David
