Iv sript the motor down and that like in the wiki Is it anything to do with relays etc ?

next thing i would check is the stalk switch, they can wear over time and accidentally make contact, they are easy to replace

First and easiest thing to check is whether any metallic object, such as a spare fuse, has worked its way partly under the large, black, rectangular wiper control module in the fusebox.
