After replacing the wiper motor and linkage bushings on my Grand Voyager SE, the wiper arms stop in the straight up position when ''at rest''. Help please

Wiper motors have a circuit which keeps power to the motor until it returns wiper arm to proper rest position even after the switch is turned OFF. Sounds like that circuit has gone bad, replacing entire unit in order.

Try to run the motor without the wiper arms tightened down and turn it off so it can cycle down to its rest state. Then install the wiper arms.

Make sure, that the car's windshield wiper wiring is correct for this motor.

Wiper Arm & Blade Removal & Installation Front To Remove:
CAUTION
When the wipers are parked (off), the driver’s wiper arm must be above the passenger’s wiper arm.

1. Remove the clip holding the outside end of the wiper arm cover to the arm.
2. Lift the arm cap up to expose the nut.
3. Remove the wiper arm mounting nut.
4. Using a suitable two jaw puller, remove the wiper arm from the wiper pivot.

To Install:

1. Verify that the wiper motor and linkage are in the parked position.
2. Place the wiper arm in position over the wiper pivot.
3. Install the nut to hold the wiper arm to the wiper pivot. Torque nut to 26 ft. lbs. (35 Nm). CAUTION
   Make sure to tighten the wiper arm nut properly.
   
4. Push the arm cap cover down.
5. Secure the clip holding the cover to the wiper arm.

Rear To Remove:

1. Lift and hold the wiper arm away from the rear window.
2. Lift the lock securing the wiper arm to the pivot.
3. Slowly release the wiper arm so it rests against the lock.
4. Remove the wiper arm from the pivot.

To Install:

1. Install the wiper arm on the pivot.
2. Pull the arm outward and release the lock.
3. Gently release the wiper arm until it rests on the rear window.

Dis connect the transmission from the motor and turn the wiper motor on,then turn it off,when it stops,attach it to the transmission with the wipers in down(rest) position,then it will do right.

The wiper cam actuator the cam is made to prevent damage to the motor by using a spring to allow it to slip if the wipers are stuck or frozen to the wind shield the spring stretching causes the wipers to stop in the middle of the window not hard to replace but does require you to do a timing procedure it should come in the box if not ill give you the basics get the new part remove both wiper arms careful the windshield is under the black plastic and I've seen other break the windshield taking the wiper arms off a battery post puller is the best way to remove , remove the cowl plastic piece you will see the cam gold/silver in color remove the one torx head screw then install new one rotate clockwise 2 times should spin freely then spin counter clockwise should stop look at where it is touching this area should have a 4mm gap the wiper motor has to be in the intermittent position prior to this turn key on put wipers in intermittent let motor spin then when it stops shut the key off then install cam.

Removal Procedure:Tools Required:J 39232 Wiper Linkage Separator
Remove the wiper arms. Refer to Windshield Wiper Arm Replacement .
Remove the air inlet grille panel. Refer to Air Inlet Grille Panel Replacement .
Remove the water shield.Remove the screw and the nut.
Dissconnect the RH linkage assembly from the LH linkage assembly with the J 39232 .
Remove the LH linkage assembly.Remove the screw from the wiper motor.
Pull the wiper motor free from the slots of the bracket.Disconnect the RH linkage assembly from the wiper motor with the J 39232 .Disconnect the electrical connector from the wiper motor.
Installation Procedure:Tools Required:J 39529 Wiper Linkage Installer
Connect the electrical connector to the wiper motor.Connect the RH linkage assembly to the wiper motor with the J 39529 .
Important: When installing the wiper motor, be sure that the crank arm is in the innerwipe position. The crank arm drive pin must be engaged in the cam pocket.
Install the wiper motor with two locator pads pressed into the slots of the bracket.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

if you allredy know this is the problem you prbably know how to get at it. so the bushing is part of the wiper transmission arm for whatever side you are repairing.

may have broken bushing in one of the arms in the wiper linkage, remove the cowl and take a look. most part stores sell replacement bushings start there good luck.

Remove the wiper arms amd the panel between the hood and the windshield. There are teflon bushings on the actuater arms that wear out, they are cheap and available from the dealer but can be tricky to install because of the limited access.

I had the same problem in my LW200. As the other poster indicated a new wiper motor will do the trick. This is an easy fix. Remove the wiper arms, pry up the plastic center cap and remove the nuts holding the arms down then pull them off. A soft prying nudge from underneath will help as they are splined shafts. Raise the hood, put a large deep well socket on over the splined shafts and remove the 2 large nuts holding the trim panel on. Pull up and off the long rubber which runs along the front of the trim panel, watch there is a sharp edge underneath. Now you can gently pull off the trim panel, remembering to lift it over the splined shafts. Mechanism is right there, remove 3 screws and unplug wiring. Take wiper motor off the linkage swap with a new one at advance auto, about 100 bucks, reinstall in reverse order. Note there is a stamping on the linkage telling you where the pivot arm should be for the rest or stopped position and if you ignore that your wipers will be out of whack. While you are in there you may want to change the cabin air filter as well.

Under the cowl (it is a plastic piece that the windshield wipers come out of) are the wiper arms that connect to the wiper motor. There are plastic parts that hold the wiper arms to the wiper motor. Lots of time these plastic parts dry out and break and the wiper arm will fall off the wiper motor. I would bet if you tried to move one of the wipers by hand both of them would move with little resistance. This would tell me that the wiper arms are disconnected from the wiper motor. The parts to fix this are easy to get. I know the motormite HELP line of parts used to have the plastic bushings to fix this problem.

Most likely you will have to replace the wiper linkage from the center pivot to the left or drivers-side wiper pivot. The plastic piece in the linkage gets brittle over time and breaks down. To save a hassle in the future, replace both linkages. It should be under $20.00 for parts.
