Wiper motor fixed!

[Eric Huppert]

Tom,

Might be the same issue. Mine was alright on regular wipers, but was up
about the same on intermittent wipers and park. Could bump the stalk and get
it to park, but was tricky and a PITA! Motor makes a full revolution, arm
slips a couple of splines and wiper rack/linkage is not positioned properly.
You'll see when you go to replace!

Eric

My Glacier Blue 200tqa (still for sale) has the non-park problem, but it is
not due to stripped splines.  The wipers sweep the normal path, but in 2
stages...hesitates at about 9" above normal park, then sweeps down to park
and back up to complete the sweep.  When on constant sweep, ther is no
hesitation...when on delay wipe or when turned off, the wipers park in the
+9" position.  Believe my problem will be cured when I (finally) install the
used motor that I have been sitting on all winter!  Tom
