Front wipers come on but won't go to back to park

I think your vehicle is making a comment about your choice of usenet newsgroupt interface and possibly suggesting you get a proper client for ti to be able to use it properly.. grin.. brian

If you show us the circuit diagram

get yourself a sensible newsgroup portal or client, the one you're using is nothing but grief.

There is a wiper park switch some where on the mechanism. It is in parallel with the off switch and is only open when the wipers are in the park position. Clearly it is not opening.

It needs either replacement or adjusting. Might be dismantleable and fixable.

There is also a requirement for an earth connection. When the wipers hit the park position the motor needs shorting to earth to brake it - otherwise if coasts past the park position and starts again.

The switch usually shorts the motor in the off position (through the parking sector on the gear)I recall. Things have got more complex with relays - but the motor still has to brake otherwise of starts again. Sometimes you can check by trying to stop the wipers (physically)at the park position with them turned off. If you feel them slow or stop then it is the earth connection that is missing. Check the earth connection to the rubber mounted motor and to the column switch.
