Just recently my front wipers started to only move continuously, regardless of whether they are set to intermittent or not. As soon as I move the stalk to the off position, the wipers stop, wherever they are in the cycle.

Where do I start?

Thanks!

Looking at the wiring diagram and the switch-positions chart, I'd start by testing for voltage at the Green-with-Black-Tracer wire into the motor with key in run position and wiper switch in off position. This looks like the 'parking' contact, one that supplies power to the motor when the switch is off .and. the motor is not actually in the parked position. The switch/contacts that actually determine parked position is internal to the motor/gearcase. Whetehr I picked the correct wire or not, one of the three wires to the motor will be hot whenever the key is on wiper switch is off.

There is no specific "wiper relay", but there is an intermittent wiper relay/controller.

roger can't make any money that way...

The intermittent wiper relay controls wiper parking..

Get the VW programmable version - the Porsche intermittent version is a waste of time - the VW relay is cheaper, smaller and a plug & play for all years

That's the one I replaced Dr. Bob. I should have been more specific.
