Whats with my windshield wipers?
when I put them on they go on fast, then when I shut them off they keep pulsating, they jump about a half inch for hours. What the heck could it be?? :confused:

Re: Whats with my windshield wipers? (Desertdawg)
It think the problem is in the motor itself because there is a park switch that actually stops the motor when it gets to the detent. No matter where the wipers are when you turn them of, they will continue until they complete the sweep and the park. It sounds like the park switch inside the motor isn't working. Iv'e tried to fix those before without much luck but maybe you will have better luck. They are kinda tricky when you get into it.

The car is a 75. I don't know if I have a relay. The switch is at top center of my center consol.
right above the small vents.

What year car are we talking about here? Where is the wiper switch and do you have a delay?

OK.. thanks.. At least they are not on the column. I really do think it is a motor problem. I know the switch is cheaper. It's easy to check, just unplug it.. I really don't think the switch is bad.

Re: Whats with my windshield wipers? (Road Racer)
Mine did the same thing, actually they would "park" then sweep, then "park" then sweep ..... and so on. Sometimes they would "park" for hours (remember the days :lolg: ) and they would choose to sweep on a bright sunny day, at a set of lights, with people checkin' out the car...
It ended up being the "park" switch inside the motor, and not at all expensive, you just need someone who knows what there lookin' for.
