Strange wiper problem

Unread post by Turfite »

Hi guys hope you are well,
I have 2009 citroen C5, the thing is my passenger side wiper sticks in the upright position when turned on, then returns to resting when I return to the car after a short while when I unlock the car.
I have checked the motor magnets etc on the passenger side and greased seem ok and was clean inside. The wiper motor works when the wiper is removed, I am at a loss guys. Could it be the drivers side motor.
I thank you all in advance

How old is the battery?
Have you tried doing a BSI reset? viewtopic.php?p=601679#p601679
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.
