Okay;
I've had the same intermittent wiper problems every other wiper post has tried to fix. Finally I popped for a used motor for the wipers on my 92 gen 2. One from a 1991, same wiring harnesses gauranteed to work,
I pulled off the cowling, removed the wiper arms, removed the old motor. Now the old motor has been stuck in up position for two weeks. I had no idea what the native stop position of the motor actuator arm was. The new motor spun fine, and stopped with the armature attaching end towards the passenger side of vehicle. I reinstalled cowling and arms, fired her up and the wipers started pulling and crushing the cowling. They were trying to wipe the hood! :blink:
So round two: <_<
I removed the arms, cowling motor, played with it for an hour or so, still kept trying to wipe downward from park position first instead of up. I finally decided to try changing the stop position by removing the actuator arm from the wiper motor shaft. It came off easily enough, so I turned everything 180 degrees, so now the stop position of the motor actuator is now facing drivers side. Re installed everything, and now the wipers would start from the park position to the proper wiping positions in all speeds :banana:
but
when I turned the switch off , the motor would park with the wipers straight up and down!
So where did I go wrong? does anyone knoow wether the connecting arm parks pointing to the driver side or passenger side of the car.
do the wipers usually wipe downward first then up (incase Im insane for thinking wipers should go from down to up, not down to down
)
If anyone has experience swapping these wipermotors please give a hand, I will humbly be in your debt :notworthy:
Ps: I can easily push the wipers down to normal park position after turning the switch off, and they will work again when I turn them on again. but thats a pain in the :bootyshake:
