front wipers are working after the car has been locked and the wipers are switched off, But when I put the wipers on they stop.''NOW'' I start the car the wipers go back to normal only when the car is off the wipers keep working. HELP. :).
I've taken the bat off for a min or too to see if the thing would reset it's self as well. Still does it.

Dug this out ,
Recalls
September 2005 (build April 2003 to March 2005): Recall of 68,722 Focus and C-Max for checks on the windscreen wipers. Water can work its way into the wiper motor along the arm of the blade. If the water contains salt it can cause the motor to short circuit and leave cars without working wipers. In extreme cases, the short circuit can also cause the wiper assembly to overheat and melt nearby trim components. Cars to be fitted with a new cover, which better seals the motor from water.
