My wiper motor died and have a new one coming. How do I make sure I have the actuator arms "in the right position" for when I connect to the new motor splined post? I'm assuming that some logic needs to be applied so that the motor knows that the arms are in the "bottom" or "rest" position....???

Thanks in advance,

Jay

 

Install new motor, don't hook up the wipers yet, turn it on, let it cycle a couple times, turn them off, let the motor park. Put your wipers in the parked position, hook 'em up to the motor. Test. If it looks good, button it up, if it doesn't, adjust, and try again.

 

Thanks Hey You. Makes sense :-). Merry Christmas.

 

Right back at ya.

I thought it was going to be an easy week.... but no.... Got called in to work this morning, gotta work tomorrow as well..... I thought I only worked thursday morning this week. So much for that.

 

Like the author wrote (I think Robert Burns, but I may be wrong) "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft-aglay. This past month has not been my best. My truck blew up, I broke my foot, caught and got over Covid-19. I wish my problems were like a wiper motor. Self parking motors are a wonderful thing.
