![]() I know it's dumb, but disconnecting the battery for a few minutes can have profound effects on goofy electronics? That's the only thing I can think of. When you turn them off they default to the 'up' position, turn them on and they go down to. ![]() Turned on the wipers and they work But they go backwards. ![]() so, in jayhawks image, his motor is stopped at down, you would unbolt the metal arm, move the linkage so the wipers are down, and then rotate and re attach the arm. However that was suggested and you said it didn't work since they go the wrong way. I pulled out the lug, replaced the fuse, and put the plug back on - except this time I flipped it over so that it was backwards from the way it was. whats happening is it is half rotation off, backwards wiring wouldnt do anything, if it made the motor go in reverse, it would simply send the arms up and back down. Wherever the shafts are, reinstall your wiper arms in the off position. I would suggest taking your wiper arms off, turning the car on, and hitting the wiper switch so it runs the motor through a single cycle (wipe the windshield once with your invisible wiper blades). The controller could have miss-counted the revolutions on the motor, and set its new origin (off position) somewhere in the middle of your windshield. To be very basic, the output shaft of the motor rotates X number of revolutions, as controlled by some controller. I don't know for certain but I am guessing that windshield wiper motors are stepper motors rather than regular electric motors (can any electrical guy confirm that? I'm interested to know).
