I never touched the motor, wiring, or mechanism.
I never touched the ignition switch, or wiper switch.
With the wiper switch off, I mounted the wiper arms to the correct position.
When I turn the switch on, the wipers move down and stop.
No mater where I mount the arms it does this.
With the arms off, I have two speeds and everything seems to work correctly
This is holding me up on going to inspection so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John

It looks like my wiper motor is running backwards?
I don't think I disconnected under cowl. And If I did, isn't there a plug that would prevent it from being reversed?
Is there somewhere else I could have reversed this?
Is there a way for me to reverse without taking apart the entire front of the car again?

under the cowl it is wired to individual spades, no plug.

Backwards Right? I woule like ideas on how to reverse this without pulling the fuel tank, and air box with all the cables.
I am thinking somehow from the switch under dash?

Looks like someone reversed the park position so the blades park on the opposite side. I've heard people doing it for visibility while autocrossing. Something to do with where the arm attaches to the motor?

Put them on like that, they will work fine.
If you want to put them back OEM, you need to change the linkage setup which requires you pull out the motor and arms to flip it around.
I can't remember how, but my car is setup like yours, and I have more than a few setup OEM....so it should not be hard to figure out.

Happy where they are. No way I am taking the front apart again at this point.
Now I can pass inspection and deliver the car to Tangerine Racing for finishing touches.
Thanks Rich

my car is reversed and I love it. No looking through the wipers over the dash. Keep 'em
