Help! Part not working

[Hunterdm198]

Hey all. I have a 2002 Grand Prix, and while I was driving home, my windshield wipers stopped half way in the windshield. I can manually push them down, but when I go to clean the mist from the rain, it stops half way again! It's really annoying, any ideas on what it could be?

park tab needs to be bent back so they park right when turned off.

 

[Hunterdm198]

Thanks, I'll try that tomorrow!

If ...that doesn't do it, it'll be the module.
Which, I've found picking up the entire unit at a JY is easiest and cheapest.

I had one time where the nut holding the arm came loose, lol. Worth mentioning...

 

[Hunterdm198]

LOL !!!! Thanks coolone How much is it at JY Billboost37?

 

[BillBoost37]

I have no idea how much it is in MI.. here is CT/MA, I paid $30 for the entire wiper motor/transmission (wiper trans) and all.

most of the time if the wipers just wont park its the tab.

if the delay on the wipers not working right its that module on the motor.

 

[BillBoost37]

Yeah yeah yeah.... I've fixed tabs and then fixed the module. LOL

 

[Scottydoggs]

well i like to start with free repairs then work up to a money needing repair.

 

[BillBoost37]

That's why I said.. "if that doesn't work"

:th_king-evil:

and now that you've pushed them down, fix the tab, loosen the arm nuts, let the motor re-park, set the wipers down in position and re-tighten the nuts.
