I have a 97 with non operational wipers, ive just been coating the RainX on the glass & running that, it actually almost works better than the wipers lmao but im gunna check the relays & fuses is there a way to check the relays functionality without purchasing new relays? If not where is a good place to buy these relays?
Thanks!

The microswitch you replaced it with may be the opposite of the original where it could be when the button is relaxed normal open or normal closed . The wiring connections seem to be correct as it wouldn't park but in this case out of phase / position .

There is also a depression dimension the button must be depressed in order for it to change the NO / NC state . This dimension is not always stated by vendors .

Do you have a part number stamped on both of your switches to compare ?

You clocking of the wiper arm on the rotating post is correct or your sweep endpoints would be obviously wrong ..

Same problem with my 1996 VDP. I turned out to be a broken wire in the steering column. With the flexing and telescoping action of the wheel it came as no surprise to me.

Might want to start a new thread topic on steering .

Is the leak on the ends of the pistons as the last seal can be replaced yourself without removing the whole rack but the rod end has to be removed to get the seal past .

Shifting problem transmission or the pinion gears loose or the hard / soft mode shifting bad ?

Rack pressure is on page 36 and X as this is the same rack on the X300 as the BMW
