Wiper motor help needed, wipers not parking.

The wipers on my 1987 924S stoped parking properly. How do I adjust the mechanism so that the wipers park in the proper place? They currently park at about three quarters of the way from full "up". The motor was replaced about a year ago according to the maintenance records I have, and even when I got the car the wipers would only park in intermittant (which they have now stopped doing too.

Is it even possible to adjust this, or is it a precursor to a full failure of the wiper motor?

Same thing happened to my 81 924 na. Remove the switch and clean the ground. I had to replace the switch though.

OK, stupid question: You mean the steering colum switch, right? Where's the ground point for that?

If the intermittent and park don't work you need the intermittent wiper relay. Note that this part is superceeded to a 993 part number and you have to cut one of the terminals off to make it fit the socket.
