Wipers
Have any of you had problems with the wipers? I live in Finland and it's about
-10'c to -20'c (celcuis) over here at nights. When I turn the wipres on in the morning, no problem.. But trying to turn them off is.. they just won't stop for about 5 min. Is it the cold and/or do I need a new switch?? The relay works and speed adj. It's just that they won't turn off right away. (sorry for the spelling

Sounds like the park mechanism or contacts may be the problem. Remove the cover from the motor (take care when removing the cover, as the plastic actuator may fall out) & inspect the plastic actuator - it may be broken - & contacts. The actuator opens the contacts that allow the motor to park the wipers after the wiper control switch has been turned off.
