Hi all

Noticed a new fault on my car today

When stationary the front wipers do not work at all. Only when the car is travelling at around 5 mph do they start to move.

If they are on fast and i stop then they will stop in the middle of the window and restart again once I start to move.

Can anyone help?

Pretty sure this is by design... Especially if they are auto wipers. Think the idea is that (a) you're not moving so generally don't need them and (b) if the rain is light when you are stationary you don't have the rain driving into the window so there is less rain and could mean wipers end up jumping ?

Not sure about the whole in the middle of the window thing.

The design for them is if they are on fast then they become intermittent when stopped, but if they are already intermittent they will remain at the same speed when stopped.

Another issue is when pulling the stalk back I have windscreen wash, nor do the wipers function. It’s onky when driving and tapping the stalk up do I get the wipers on
