Subject:Randomly Parking Wipers

Volks -

My '87 Westy just started having a case of randomly parking windshield
wipers.  On Intermittant they work fine, but low or high speed, when you
switch the lever to off, they just stop wherever they are.

I can still switch to intermittant, and then turn them off from the parked
position, but it is a pain.

The archives say it's either the relay or the motor.   I have tried the
relay from Matthew's Westy which works fine for him, but doesn't fix my
problem.   There was some discussion about fixing a connection on the motor,
but I couldn't find a description of how to do that.

Any suggestions?

Is the motor another one of those 'Remove the Dashboard' jobs?

Thanks!
