When turning my wipers off they do not park in the normal position. Instead of parking in the lower left side of the windshield, they swing back up a bit and park a in an annoying position in front of the field of visions. ie: park position takes the wipers back up the right a bit instead of placing them all the way down to the left. It's as if something is reversed for parking and instead of going all the way down and to the left, they go back up a bit to the right. It appears everything is wired correctly.

See picture for where they park currently.


I've searched the discussions and cant seem to find any answers. so I turn to the wise members for help

It sounds like the arm attachment to the motor is off. If the wipers stop at the same place every time, the arm assembly attached to the motor is off.

Had a similar issue with a headlight motor. In the up position, the headlight was not pointed up enough. Realized that the arm to the motor was misaligned such that the headlight would go up ok, but park just after the full up position.

i think spoke is saying the wipers are in the right position (going left to right in the right pattern), it just keeps going and parking later than where it should... no???
