Right, so I lifted the wipers up and tried them and they work, motors shafts etc all fine, but when they get to their finish position after the wash cycle and i flip the wipers back onto the lights they dont seem to sit right and dont move when I activate the wash when on the lights.
I tried moving them manually but they wont budge.
from the image below you can see the angle is off compared to how it should be, I think. Any ideas?

If you were to mix up the motors so that the N/S motor was where the O/S one should be that would cause your problem- but one motor has 3 wires and the other 4 wires so i can't see how that could happen

3 wires for n/s, correct?

erm, i think so- O/S (R) should have an extra blue wire, N/S (L)should just have red/black/brown
