pull the fuse for the wiper blades and then re-install it. That may reset the system. It's either that, or the switch is actually stuck or broken. Just remember to change your transfer case fluid and service that atf down the road too to avoid problems

If you just got it ask them about it. It's not likely it just started after you bought it.

The X-Type experts will be along later but, with the weather across Northern England this morning, you probably need your wipers urgently.

The best information I have available is for a later Model Year than yours but fuse locations don't usually change drastically. The Wiper Switch is F8 and the Wiper Switch / Washers / Wiper Motor is F9 in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box.



Good luck.

Graham

Sounds to me its the wiper mechanism (~$200). Try the fuses but I don't think that will help.

The park switch is part of the mechanism.
