Jersey 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 S Rimini Red
Mind of it's own rear wiper

now I have done a quick search and not found this problem yet so lets see if anyone has any ideas.

when I put my rear wiper on it finishes in the correct place once every six attempts, now this is more of an annoyance then a problem because it tends to stop in the center of the rear windscreen(the running joke with the JLOC members is that my RRS is flipping the bird to everyone Laughing )


Has anyone seen this before and is there a nice quick fix?

My Only real problem with asking your sponsors for help is where I am based, it's a little 9x5 mile rock in the channel lol

I may have to just except that my RRS is just "Special"

also asked a tailgate issue question on another thread if you can help there Very Happy Member of the Jersey Land Rover Owner Club

No help to you but my rear wiper parks ok every time, but as it wipes it stops in the vertical position for about 2 seconds with a loud grinding noise then carries on does it every time!
leaving now as the sun has been shining

Assuming wiper arm normally parks itself in the right place, if it doesn't then arm needs repositioning.
Just a thought but replacing the rear wiper relay might be a worthwhile starting point. They are cheap.
Next step rear wiper motor perhaps?
Perhaps wiring but it wouldn't cause it to pause at the same point.

Hi Barry,

thanks for the reply.

The wiper doesn't always stop in the same position just tends to stop near the center of the rear windscreen.


I'll look at the relays and motor when I take the rear trim apart for another issue. Member of the Jersey Land Rover Owner Club
