    Hi there fellas,

    Wondering if anyone out there can tell me what to do... Everytime I fire up my 1994, 456GT, the wiper blades go off.

    The wiper setting is definately switched to off - and I have to play about with the settings for a few minutes (from fast, to intermitant, to off) - in order to get them to switch off. There doesn't seem to be any set routine which to go through in order to switch them off, sometimes it takes ages.

    Can anyone suggest possible causes - and possible remidies?


    Many thanks!


    Joel.

    Has the wiper motor been fiddled with lately?

    Don't know about F-cars in particular, but on others if the self-parking mechanism isn't adjusted properly they will go on for ever. Seem to remember loosening the motor body and rotating the circular casing containing the s-parking mechanism to adjust it.
