Nissan Primera P11-144 - Wipers Sticking

The arms can be a bugger to get off!  But if you fold them up and rock them back and forwards whilst pulling hard they should eventually come off with lots of persuasion!

Very likely to be the motor. Quite a common fault.

They freeze at the top of the screen and on the next cycle, they come back down.  Watching the wiper motor, it sort of flexes away from the body of the car. Unfortunately I can't get the wiper arms off for love nor money so can't take the black grill off and get to the linkage. Sprayed as much WD40 as I could find through the grill and it seems to have helped slightly. If I lift the wiper arms, they rock around like anything, but return to being solid and stable when in contact with the screen. Im guessing this is because as spindles are, I've read, plastic and the whole linkage and motor will need to be replaced? Preferably from a P11? Best to use an extractor for getting the arms off? Thanks Simon

This is exactly the issue I'm having with my 2001 P11 144 wipers.  I've bought a wiper motor from an auto recycling company, so need to attempt to fit it in the near future.   Last year I had a linkages problem (wipers became very squeaky, and then wipers just failed completely) which was fixed by the garage - so was reasonably sure it was something to do with the motor this time.

Hi! I have a nissan primera p11 97mod. Sedan. And i also have this problem with the wiper intermittent. The same as others have described it. When i have the intermittent mode switched on, the wipers stops on top of the wind shield. And then stops again on the way down before they go all the way down the windshield. The wipers stop exactly on the same spots every time. This continues until i switch the intermittent mode off. The wipers begin to move when the intermittent relay switchs on and they stop when the relay shuts off. The fast wiper modes work as normal. So i ordered an used wiper motor to the car and replaced it. But it did not solve the problem. The wipers move exactly the same way as before replacement. So i ordered a New relay to try fix the problem, but it did not help anything. The wipers move exactly the same way. So i have searched the internet to try find the problem and then i found this forum and i hope you guys can help me out. Is there a chance to try fix the motor folowing this how to guide http://www.npoc.co.uk/forum/p11-fixing-the-wipers-autopark-function_topic35006.html? As i have replaced the motor with an other used motor, it May be a chance that it have the same motor problem. But it act exactly the same way. So i dont know, the problem May not be the motor. Im sorry for my bad english :) please help me out!

Also! Even when i have detached the motor, the relay act the wrong way. I can hear the clicks for on and off doesnt match to a correct intertellent to the wipers...
