Rear Wiper Doesn't Stop!!!!

[EssexIbiza1985]

Am i being stupid or are all ibizas like this

When i use the rear windscreen wiper it works fine but then the bloody thing dont stop! every 30 seconds it wipes but doesn't stop until I turn the engine off and it resets.
Any suggestions????
it is only a click once operation so im not being stupid and leaving it on

I had this, push the wiper stalk back again briefly and it should turn it off. If not keep doing it untill it shuts off lol. Thats what I do lol

I also got fooled by the tricksy wiper until I decided to flick through the manual, thought it had some kind of special rain sensor until it kept going on a dry day.

- So, push forward and keep there for water jets and wipe.

- Push forward and allow to spring back to centre for on

- Do the same again for off.

haha he said the blockage, not the water itself!

f17th -

1st - check inside your boot behind the left light unit. you may find the water pipe that carries the water has come apart....

2nd - empty your rear light of water

ahhh see i had a mk2 golf so i had to learn the hard way, but i think there was an issue, as id often sit there franctically pushing the stalk to it stopped fortunatly the beeza is 1 touch its one, 1 touch its off ! .. my washer pipe had popped off when i first had it, but this was on the connector for the N/S washer jet.

I thought mine was blacked until i took the boot liner off to find a loose pipe! DOH!

Everytime i wiped it was squirting water into the boot!
Fixed it now but part of the wiper is missing so when i squirt now it shoots a jet of water 5m straight out the back of the car! Great fun when im getting tailgated but not very practical for cleaning my window

you get used to long looks into the mirror to check its off

You are an absolute lifesaver!!!!!

ah this may solve the mystery of the rust in the boot! wen i first bought the car there was rust all over the boot floor. looked like some kind of spillage had happened. but as my rear washer doesnt work perhaps it is just filling my boot up with water! i will be investigating!! need to do a respray jobby soon before it gets really bad.

Had a look yesterday at the rear wiper spray hose and indeed it is popped off!! pulled up the carpet and there is a trail of devastation from the tail light to the boot floor ! well atleast that mystery has been solved! cheers guys!

Yay! Someone has solved the problem lol, it's so annoying, thought I had a major electronic fault hehe

Cheers for that! All it would have taken is a flick through the manual too!

Thanks mate
