Wipers won't return to resting pos.when off - Cars & Trucks

First off you need to do some testing to see what needs replacing !

• Windshield Wipers Will Not Park at Proper Position

• Damaged windshield wiper motor.

• Damaged windshield wiper control module.

• Damaged circuitry.

• GO to Pinpoint Test E .

Pull off the wiper arms when the motor has turned off and the wipers at rest. Realign the arms in the position desired and do a test with a mist of water on the glass. The gear alignment is critical to the way the arm rests when in operation and when at rest.

With ya'lls perty white heavy snow,it made your wipers get unaligned,you will have to remove and reset.It's not good to remove snow from wipers when windshield is loaded,get a scraper or blower and go at it.Wish we got snow.

Open the rear window and push the arm past its usual position against the window. It may restore the the tension. However, You likely need a new wiper arm, you could also try lubricating the pivot point.

sounds like the gears inside the wiper motor are gone. replace the wiper motor and be sure to check the nylon bushing on the wiper control arms for wear.

The "return to rest" circuit inside the wiper motor is bad, replace it.

there is a parking relay in the wiper motor's electrical system that does not work no longer. That is why it will not sop and rest at the lower end of the windsheild

when running the wipers turn the key off upon were you want the wiper to be positioned at for your work

there is one wiper motor,in the off position,reset yuor wiper arms and tighten the nuts that hold them down on the mounting points of your wipers

Same thing happened to my '87 Chevy S-10 pickup, so it's probably the same part. The wiper motor froze, and because it's direct geared to the wipers, they don't move unless it does.

Remove the wiper motor, reposition the wipers to their resting position, then reinstall a new wiper motor.
