usually the wiper stalk control that's failed

^ this and quite common- might be worth spraying a bit of switch cleaner in there first which might be all it needs, otherwise it’ll need replacing

Sounds like a faulty self parking switch. This may help:

Spraying in the steering column ?

As posted in the other thread:

Far more likely this than the wiper switch.

Would wd40 be ok ?

No. WD is a water dispersant not a contact cleaner. Use a proper contact cleaner (available readily enough from places such as Halfords).

See the video I posted first!
Yours is a classic self parking switch issue.

There you go , as LK says - the switch cleaner is a great thing to have in the garage though
