have not had chance to get onto doing anything as yet,will try and have a look, i take it that if it is still running with the stalk disconnected it likely to be a relay, and vice versa, thanks. :y

just had a chat with a dealer near me, got told that there is the wiper relay in the engine bay, or possibly the intermittent part built into the motor at a cost of nearly £300! as its a complete unit! or could be the stalk, this fault is winding me up now, may end up spending good money to find the cause! >:(

I have no experience of this fault, but there are certainly more comments on this forum regarding faulty stalks than there are relays ? And I seem to recall that the stalks are not over expensive to buy new ?

Hopefully someone will be along shortly with a bit more wisdom on this fault than me.

thanx dave, the stalk is the cheaper of the parts that this fault could be! and do seem to be a more common fault, i did strip the switch yesterday, seemed ok and nothing broken, but didnt have a meter hand to check continuity!

have just returned from a visit to a local garage, the owner has a mv6 himself, he tried replacing the stalk, relay and even plugged in a spare motor he had, still this fault happened, was sure i would get to the bottom of this! but seems its deeper than that!

is it feesable that this was caused by a short between the wipers and the washer motor? the washers were working when this fault first happened but a garage has said the washer pump was burnt out? or is the preverbial wool being pulled! :-/
