Question:

Why do my windshield wipers rest in the full up position?

I have replaced the circuit board and the motor but it didn‘t help. They still stop in the full up position. When turned on, they function normally but when turned off, instead of running through the cycle and then going down, they cycle then go up.

Answer:

Not sure what sort of car you own, but some GM models have a pretty in-depth way of clocking the wipers. You will need a repair manual to do it properly, I have been working on them for 23 yrs, they still are hard to get clocked properly. You nay want to just pay a technician to do it right. Its not a bad motor, switch , etc, it just needs to be clocked on the wiper motor and your problem will be solved. The most common vehicles are usually the montana, transports , grand prix, regals, etc. Good luck
Unbolt the crank from the motor turn it 180 degrees and bolt it back on. Problem solved.
