Windshield Wiper Motor

When I got the car back in the summer, the wipers only worked on the high setting and when I turned them off they would stop in the middle of the window. Well I went to the junk yard and got another motor. This one still only works in the high setting and I have to time it just right when I shut them off for them to stop in the normal position. Could it be a bad motor or maybe the wiper switch is messed up?
 


When you got the replacement. Did you get just the motor or the motor and electronic module that should be part of the motor assembly?
 
Ok, before you put the arms on.. I think you are supposed to cycle it to ensure it's timed properly. You probably did that too right?
 
Yeah I did that. When they actually go down in the correct position, they are sitting nicely on the stoppers. But they only work on the high setting and if I click it down to low or any of the delays, it will stop wherever they are at on the windshield..
 
Did you get anything figured out on this? My 05' is doing the exact same thing, I figured it was the module on the motor. Checking the site to see if that is the case or not.
 


Are you sure the actual wiper is sitting on the spline shaft correctly and the nut is not loose?
 
There not lose. I check that first, and they work just fine on high. Just spurratic or not at all on low or itermittent.
 
Strange... its a basic setup... assembly attached to a motor to spin the shafts.. If it were me, id just go to a junkyard and pull both the motor and assembly for the wipers.. Im sure together it would be less then if you just bought a new motor or assembly anywhere. But there is always that slight chance that it may be an electrical issue..
 
Holy old thread batman..

But I just replaced the whole motor and linkage and it fixed itself after that
 
Motor Pulse Board causes this issue. I need to replace mine.

If they stick straight up after shutting them off its the metal tab that the motor parks on. It needs bent up.

Haha i just saw the original date on this post.... Glad your still not having the issue since it was 8 months ago. :th_winking:
 
mine is parking in the middle @ 12 O'clock.
"If they stick straight up after shutting them off its the metal tab that the motor parks on. It needs bent up."
IS this located inside of the Motor Pulse Board?
Will this fix it??
