Hi,

I doubt it.

I had this problem late November. It was the stalk that was the problem (It appeared!!). I solved it by twisting the rear wiper control slightly farther than it usually goes Then back again hard. After about 30 times of doing this, it came ok & has not caused me any problems since. I also used a safety solvent (Gun foam cleaner) on the stalk as well, but don't know if that helped & or solved it. I think it was either moisture or dust in the mechanism.

Most wiper motors are earthed switched so if there is an earth leak either at the connections or inside the motor then it will continue to run. Sometimes the self-parking mechanism inside gets gummed up and if you can get access inside the a clean up an some fresh grease cures the problem.:)
