What you can do
- 1Check that the windscreen wiper stalk is not sticking or stuck in an activated position
- 2If you have a diagnostic tool, read the single-wipe and low-speed wipe switches in live data and check that they are not active at the same time
- 3If the stalk is free but the fault remains, have a workshop check the switch
Symptoms you may notice1

What the fault can affect1
