The front wipers on my C3 Have stopped functioning correctly.
When in use they get stuck in random positions across the screen and the intermittent function is now not intermittent, and runs constantly.
I do not have an auto wiper function and have changed the blades. The screen wash works fine.
Any thoughts ? I'm not good on different car parts but I'm happy to make repairs with sufficient instructions.

With such a low mileage, I wouldn't expect these problems

It breaks down into two paths. Find out if the control is telling the wipers to misbehave or is the control correct and the wipers are misbehaving.
You need to use lexia up and running (here) to look at the signals sent to the wipers.
Not basic or simple stuff at all if you are unfamiliar with lexia.
