	I've got a problem with the windscreen wipers on my 1990 saph and wonder if anyone here could help me? The intermittent wiper works but if I flick the stalk off during the sweep the wipers stop where they are rather than returning home, but non of the other wiper settings work. The big red relay (believe this is the intermittent wiper relay) is clicking as it should but are there any other relays to control the other wiper speeds? Any thing else I could check? Thanks for any help

	Check there is a constant live to the wiper motor, it uses this to park, could be on a fuse ?

	I found a wiring diagram of the wiper circuit to try and find the constant live but but it wasn't the best, if I worked it out right the constant live is a black and velvet stripped wire? This is the diagram I found I tried bridging the bk/v straight to the battery live to see if it did any thing but it didn't I've checked the fuses but they all looked fine

	Turns out to be a faulty wiper stalk
