Ok so my windshield wipers are acting strange. They work fine to wipe, but when I go to turn them off, they will go all the way down then back up and stop. Like it thinks its supposed to stop in the upward position. So I either have to drive with them stuck in the up position or turn off the car while they are down and pull out the fuse so they won‘t go back up. The motor seems to be working fine. Can anyone help me? By the way it‘s a 96 Chev Cav
It sounds like your windshield wiper switch is broken. There should be a home position in the wiper switch which allows power to be applied to the wiper motor until the blades come back down to the windshield base or home position. Power is then removed allowing the blades to remain at the base of the windshield.
Shutting off in the proper position is a function of the motor. It has internal switches that take care of parking the blades. The switch or linkage is not the problem.
try checking the wiper linkage (gotta open up the panel covering the wiper internal parts) it maybe the linkage has worn out or loose. another possibility is that wiper relay has some problem, try changing relay, could help also (coz not enough current supplied to the wiper motor). hope it helps, Merry Christmas.
