Intermitten Windshield Wipers not working correctly
I just installed a new wiper motor on my 98 Vette and the intermitten part doesn't seem to work right. The wiper arms stop during the pause phase at the top of the windshield rather than at the bottom. When
turned off it goes back down to the right position. It's just when it
pauses between cycles that it stays on the top part of the windshield.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Where did you get the wiper motor from ??? All of the "logic" is inside the "motor", the switch by your steering wheel is just that, a switch. If the blades are "parking" in the correct location, it sounds to me like you have a defective motor.

I just went through this very same issue last week when installing my new motor. Its all in the way the cam is positioned. If it is 180* out of phase, which it sounds, the best i way i can describe it is with the spring loaded arm seated against the metal tab, you will turn the cam position 180* in the other direction. There is a small hole in the cam and turn it until you see the little dimple, tighen the torx screw down then you should be good to go. It took me about 30 minutes of experimentation to get the right position. Good luck.
