mine took the knock also with the one-touch wipe;
wipers stopping as soon as you let go of the stalk, i took the motor off yesterday and found that the brass contact nearest the centre of the motor had broken off. after cleaning out all the old grease which had turned to mush !!! i bent the remaining bit of contact down so it was level with the 2 un-broken ones. repacked gears with fresh grease,refitted and now it works.
i think the fact that the wing drain under the motor was blocked meant the motor has possibly been sitting in a pool of water until i cleared the drain out last month when i repaired the linkage that kept popping off.....?
