    Default Wipers Self Return Stuffed

    Hey,
    Just got a VP SS and noticed the wipers dont self return. Could this be a faulty switch or something else?
    Cheers!

    Years ago, wasnt there a capacitor on the wiper motor that stored enough charge to return the wipers to the "park" position after they were switched off? dunno if there still is. pete

    last time i pulled a wiper motor apart there were brass contacts inside on the gears that would give it power to return to the down position.
    Maybe check if there is a live wire there for this to happen and if that ok then pull it apart and clean the contacts.
