Faulty Wipers 96 Escort - frank_butcher
96 Escort LX.

In intermittent mode the wipers run constant rather than ... intermittently.

When the stick is returned to off (from int. or from normal, or fast wipe) the blades just stop on screen and don't return to the rest position.

What's the most likely problem here?

I haven't looked at it yet but I'm guessing either a dodgy stick switch, relay or limit switch in the wiper motor?
