wiper problem

[thebandit343]

I have a 2002 Grand prix gt that when you turn off the wipers they do not bed, instead they go up. Someone told me maybe a "park switch"? Any ideas, is this common? I just figured the arms needed to be taken off and then turn the switch on, and let it bed, and then hook up the arm again?

There is a little tab under the wiper that is bent. bend it back and enjoy

 

[thebandit343]

What does that tab do? Cause I mean, when you shut off the wipers, they go ALL the way up and are in line with the drivers vision. Does this tab prevent that?

 

[dsmuts]

The tab being bent back down tells the wiper trans where to park at.

 

[thebandit343]

I'll try that. thanks.

Did this work for you? I'm having the same problem as we speak.

 

[KeithGTP03]

Yup, just bend this tab back

 

[carl06GT]

Do I just remove the cowl to access that?

 

[KeithGTP03]

Yes. IIRC, you need to remove the wiper arm to remove the cowl

 

[carl06GT]

Driver side correct?

 

[KeithGTP03]

Correct
