Wiper Motor Park Switch

[jerkyboy]

I have variable speed wipers that do not park when you shut them off. The service manual has a section that talks about motor park switch timing and gives instructions on how to manually hook it up to test the park function. In the service diagnosis section, the corrections are to adjust, repair, or replace the park switch but it does not show where the switch is located or how to adjust/repair it if necessary. Where is it, how do you adjust/repair/replace???

The park sitch is located under the flat cover of the wiper motor. Basically just a couple of flat steel "switches" tell the motor to park. There are also a few different positions for the park switch so the wipers will set in the right spot on the glass. Take the cover off and check it out. You'll see how it works once you get in there.

there should be a ground strap on it too, check to see if it is there.
