Question Windshield wiper problem

When I switch off my wipers, they don't return to the starting position. Also, the intermittent function doesn't work. Where should I be looking for a bad connection? Thanks in advance.

I would ask J Walker as he is in your neck of the woods but if it was my car I would probably be changing the wiper motor from my past experience with the same problem.

Ditto on the Mr. Walker help .......... He helped me thru the same thing. Mine was the wiper switch and a bad connection on the wiper motor. Connections right behind the clock.
Do a search. Should be lots of ideas.

Good Luck

I've never told anybody this but...


...If I plug a CB radio into my cigarette lighter and key the mike...my windshield wipers will start going back and forth until i let go of the mike.

Hello

Just check if your wiperswitch is working correct. There is a bridge/wire to run back the wiper to the park position.
