The switch slides off the motor body. If I remember correctly, when the pin is pushed, the circuit is broken.
I’m not getting your point.

On a DR3 wiper motor the parking switch is a separated part mounted next to the wiper rack connection.
As shown on the picture at post#4

If this switch gets pushed manually(as I’ve no rack mounted yet) the motor stops if running on P mode.

The problem occurs during switching on the PRS7 switch independent of the mode selected (P,N,F) on it.

If that switch is malfunctioning, the motor parking might be effected. I'm just trying to hit all the possibilities. That switch might work 100% off the motor, but if the assembly doesn't fit on the motor body tightly enough, there might not be enough "cam" to make it work.

Could be that I found the „issue“

Having mounted the PRS7 switch on the bench vise, switching between P-N-H gets much faster compared to the switch being mounted on the dash.
I tried to switch very slow between the positions (making sure it disconnects the old switch position prior to connect to the new one) and I did not see the issue any more.
I assume I was switching to fast between the positions and the motor had no chance to release the magnetic field on time before the other setup got activated.

If I’ll encounter this issue again after having everything mounted on the car I’ll add some relais on the circuit. They should make sure the previous circuit is open before closing the next one.

Thanks for your advises.
