OK, so the wiper motor was juddery, and parked wherever it liked (advisory on the MOT, and damn annoying) so I decided to try and fix it following the guide on this site.

After that, wiper wouldn't stop running, so I'm assumed it was the motor.

Got a new motor today, and lo and behold - same fault.

Relay? or does anyone else have any other ideas?

Tried the relay as well, still the same,

Only working on one speed too, so maybe try the stalk next.

I'm in Troon.

The wiper motor was working normally (but juddery, with faulty self-park) until I cleaned and re-greased it following the guide on here.

After that, it only works on one speed and it won't turn off!
