Windscreen wiper blades — checking the home position (VW Golf 5)

Attention! Every second time the wiper motor is switched off, it is set to the parking position, which ensures that the working edge of the brushes is turned in the opposite direction.

After switching off, the electric motor moves to the parking position and then slightly moves the brushes upward.

This motor stroke cannot be used to adjust or check the windshield wiper crank.

The initial position of the electric motor is used for testing.

If necessary, the glass wiper switch can be pressed again.
