Wipers acting weird

[cmann250]

Symptoms are: the wipers run at two speeds, medium and warp speed (max), they return home, but they bump themselves back up an inch or so after they return home. They do this everytime, they don't just stop where they are.

It wouldn't bother me except for when the rain is light, the wipers screech across the glass.

I've searched here and elsewhere and turned up nothing definative. I popped apart the intermittent control box and nothing had gotten hot like some boxes have.

Anyone had this happen to them?

Thanks

I believe the coming back up an inch after the park location is the arm on the wiper motor is not splined in the correct location.

change the intermitent box, mine did that after i fried the charging system, box out of the wreckers fixed it

If i move them down, won't the arms dip beyond the park posistion and come back to the park posistion?

Thanks Many, I'll just add it to the many parts i need at the junk yard

X2. Simple as loosening the nut,pry off the arm, turn the motor to on then off so it will go to park again, then position your wipers were you want them and bolt up the linkage to the motor.

It doesn't work that way. The motor has 2 flats on the shaft, or at least mine did. Kinda hard to move it 1 notch that way.

Mines the same way. You can pull the wiper arms off and try to move them down where you want them.

Really? I could have sworn when I did my bushings that mine was a splined,tappered shaft. Maybe I'm confused

[Gots_a_sol]

I'm pretty sure mine did not have a fat spline as I spent a couple of minutes trying to get the stupid thing splined in the right spot when I replaced all my bushings.

Thanks for the help guys.

To further complicate things, when i turned the wipers off this morning, they went to park and stayed there. I turned them off at about full travel (furthest from park), if that could make a difference.

So the wipers aren't only screwed up, they are inconsistent too. This is so strange, it doesn't even piss me off lol

lol i bet its the wiper deal under the dash, mine do this to, i was gonna replace it, but its working fine now lol

Our 95 chevy plow truck did that and it was the wiper motor. You never knew what it was going to do when you turned the wipers on.

[cmann250]

When i got the truck, the wipers worked with the same symptoms as the do now. Every blue moon (and when the planets align), the wipers work at the right speeds. And that's when i hold the plug a certain way in the box, but they never work right on their own

Well here is a weird one you push the washer fluid button and the blower motor comes on explain that I need to know please.

That's simple "D O D G E"

Seriously I've got nothing but maybe its back feeding a ground circuit. Do you have a interior wiring diagram?
