Unplugging the wiper motor connector reduces this. There is a feed from the wiper motor parking switch to the BCU which I was about to investigate when my OSF spring snapped!

Hi Simon,


Sounds at least fairly similar to mine! Rather than only going up every now and then, though, mine was at a pretty constant 100mA draw - after a bit of investigation at the weekend, unplugging the wiper motor does fix the problem, leaving me with a residual 50mA draw - something I guess is at least closer to being normal, if not quite there yet. I'm planning on spraying some contact cleaner on it when I get chance, to see if that solves the problem - hoping it's not a problem with the wiper motor itself!
