I always thought this was caused when the motor spins too fast. There is a
range of motion where the motor shuts off its own switch, if it is spinning
with not enough resistance it will pass the switch area from its own
momentum.
But mechanically I don't know how this could happen, the wiper has drag from
its squeegee.
Right?
