    My cars alarm.........

    The key has one button to let the key out and the other is the big button for the alarm, there are no other buttons. And I cannot see an alarm siren, It is the horn that goes off I think ? Someone told me it is an after market alarm?

    Windshield wiper stops in centre of screen

    I am of the opinion that some thing needs to be moved so the wiper blade settles in the home position but, for the life of me, I cannt see it :(. I think the actual motor needs to not move as the wiper assembly is moved back to the home position.
