Full beam and wiper problem

    Hi guys,

    I have a couple of issues, not sure if they are related in any way...electrics wise.

    My full beam will not turn off sometimes without giving the lever a good tap.
    Also, my wipers now wont retract all the way down to the stopping position. The first and second speeds are pretty much useless as the just stop mid-windscreen so i have to use the third speed and switch off when the wipers are at the bottom of the screen.

    The odd thing is is when I use my window washer, the wipers switch on and off fine at the second speed.

    Not sure if this is an electrical thing...it probably is with the full beam but maybe my wipers just need replaced


    im thinking of starting up an weeky thread called "What is wrong with my car this week"! :(

    Could be bad earth, faulty wiper relay, faulty wiper switch. I would advise you get a car electrician to look at it.
