Front wiper stops as soon as you flick the switch off
Up until recently the front wiper worked absolutely fine.

Now though, whenever I switch off the wipers, they stop immediately and do not return to bottom of the screen.

This happens at all speeds including the intermittent...

So I guessing it isn't the relay?

Had the same problem a few months ago. Solved by taking off the fuse cover and wiggling the wiper relay about. Worth a try maybe. One wife - livid

Most likely the park switch on the motor as stated above. Not too difficult to change on a TDCi. If you search you should find a "how to" I posted about 3 years ago.
