Modified wiper parking switch

[wimpus]

For years I've been having problems with the parking switch on my wiper motor.

Normally lasted 6 months.. 

 

Now I had bought another one and fitted it during our lockdown.

It already failed after 2 weeks (and only put my wipers on once to clean my windscreen) 

Opened it up, cleaned it all up inside (burned contacts) & it was working again... until the first rain shower last week..

So... 

I've now put in a microswitch.

But its very very tight !

Last 2 days been testing it and works great.

I do need to make another one, as i need to remake it a bit to be even better.

 

Original vs. prototype no.1

Updated after more then a year... still works great and never failed (yet) 🙃
