Headlight wiper sort of stuck ...

One of the headlight wipers stops at the end of the sweep ie in the centre of the light. If I gently wiggle the wiper back and forward, the wiper resets itself to the correct rest position. Based on this, I guess the mechanism (cogs etc) is not fully broken, but there must me some poor contact (electrical or mechanical) at the end of the sweep. Anyone have an idea of how the motor knows where to stop and go back? I would have imagined that it the motor goes in one direction only and that it's the gearing that changes the direction of the sweep? So perhaps the gearing gets stuck at the change over point.
Once I release it, it works okay for a while and then gets stuck again.
This only started today so I need to observe it a bit more before I'll open it up to see what's going on ...
Any comments from those who have opened/adjusted the motor/mechanism? or from those who have had a similar problem?
Regards
-Pete
