99 S80 T6 windscreen wiper parking problem

Post by wombat »

HI, on top of all the usual faults (3rd gear solonoid faulty, lava lamp mirror syndrome, useless sunroof,faulty alarm, faulty window regulator, noisy front o ring) I have now come across a problem to which I am unable to find the answer in this marvellous forum and unfortunately this one will be a bit of a whatsit when it comes to the MOT.

The windscreen wipers when operated work correctly but when parked they come to rest half way up the screen. When operated they move down to the bottom before commencing normal operation before parking again in the middle of the screen. The arms can be (gently) pushed down to the horizontal position.....so I can have clear visibility!

Is there a simple way to reset/amend the parking position?
What could be the cause of this?

I've told the wife when the car reaches 10 faults its going to have to go!! :evil:
