Looking for some opinions.
Yesterday I closed the tailgate on my A3 sportback and the rear wiper started sweeping continuously. The stalk was in the normal position (not active). When pushed forward it went to the regular intermittent sweep but pull back to middle and off it went at full chat again. I have removed the fuse to stop it. When pushing the stalk forward I can hear the switch behind the dash working. Front wipers and all wash functions fine front and rear. No lock or parking sensor issues. Took inside tailgate panel off, no damp. Unscrewed motor back plate, no water leaked. Washer hose secure with no leaks. Both washer nozzles spray and cleaned by me since I bought the car in August.
Anyone any suggestion? I think I’ll be wasting time replacing motor as it parks correctly when on intermittent etc. And it happened on a dry day but cold and car had been sat for 2 weeks beforehand while I was away. Plus it activated when I slammed tailgate shut.
HELP Please. Thanks.
