    Re: Hawk Wiper Motor Park Problems

    Thanks - mounting is sorted, I have it under the dash securing the heater matrix housing. The issue is the wiring so that the wiper returns to the park position - at the moment the stop, slow and fast controls all work but when I move from on to off the wiper stops immediately rather than returning to the rest position which is seems is an IVA requirement.

    'Sounds like you're nearly there Matt. The parking thing is sort-able, and has been discussed on here before.
    I'm using a Vauxhall Corsa wiper motor, so without a Lucas wiper motor in front of me, it's difficult to advise.

    There's some discussion regarding the park 'wedge/lobe' on the big gear on this thread

    Another Hawk wiper thread
    and another

    And when it's sorted, lots of rain x, and then more rain x etc, I don't like relying on the prince of darkness!!!

    That is indeed a good guide which explains the electrical functions very well.
    It also explains why your motor has to be correctly and securely held because of the reaction of the motor to the braking effect of the parking switch.
    Nothing too difficult to provide the 12 volt from the x19 stalks as far as I remember. Only ever had to deal with these motors once. Just don't ask me which wire because I can't remember.
    I think the combined posts earlier in this thread should be enough to identify it.
    Don't assume the Hawk wiring loom is correct as I've seen burnt insulation on earth's associated with the wiper wiring.
    I'm pretty sure all the Lucas wiper motors have the same configuration of terminals in their "plugs". As photo. Sounds like you have most functions correct so it's just getting 12v from a suitable source to that park terminal.
