Thread: Windshield Wiper Issues

I had that happen on a 97 that I had. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and it never happened again.

I tried unhooking the battery, no such luck. The wipers still do it. If you turn them on "Delay", they wipe twice, start to cycle back to the bottom of the windshield, but only make it about 3 inches, then pause, go back to the top, and finally return to the "home" position at the bottom of the windshield, where they stop. If I put them on "low", they will wipe fine until I turn them off, then they go up, 3" down, back up, and return to the bottom of the windshield. It's more annoying than anything.

Any more ideas? I really don't think it's the wiper motor, I think it's something wrong with the linkage somewhere.

Thanks for that. I think that's what it is, I'll try to take a look at that tomorrow. I figured it was something simple like that, but I honestly didn't even know where to start. Thanks again!

Alright, I disassembled everything, and it would appear that I don't have the same setup as in the link you posted, Keith. Here are a couple pics of the linkage and motor assembly, I removed the whole thing from the car so I could figure it out, fix it, and put it all back together. . .





I don't see any "stop mechanism" or cam in there, it looks like it either never existed there, or it was removed.
