1)If that doesnt work then after you remove the plastic cover and take off the nut...which is 13mm size, your going to need to get like channel locks or vice grips and pull the wiper arms off. 2)Once they are off, remove the cowl cover. You might need to get a small screwdriver and pry up the plastic screw and get a needle nose plier and pull the screw out and then the other little plastic thing the screw went into you have to pry out as well...it's not hard. 3)Then once you remove the screws, remove the lining strip and disconnect the wiper hose. 4)Now once the cowl cover is removed you'll see another plastic cover on the driver side. Remove that. There's a little white plastic thing holding it down. Take that off. Be careful because it might tear. If it does don't worry then it makes it easier to remove the cover. 5)Now you see a black plastic cover covering the gears and stuff. That just pops off. Take that off. 6)Now there's this torx head screw, just break it lose. Once its broken loss that whole gear thing will turn freely from the motor. You'll see an arm that stick up at an angle from the gear.It should be sticking up and to the right. It should be connected to another arm that actually pushes and pulls the blades. Turn the gear so that the arm is turned to the bottom left position. You might have to adjust it just a little to one side or the other but its in that general direction. 7) Once its set in that direction, re tighten the torx headed screw. Now put one blade on to see if its set correctly. Now if its not set correctly just adjust the wiper arm or readjust the gear. 8) Once you have it set. Do everything in reverse when you put it back together and you should be okay.
olds wiper problemif you pry off the plastic cover on the wiper blades- there will be a large nut- if this is not tightened down enough it will let the wipers shift from the original setting and even strip out some of the aluminum around the hole reposition the blade in the right spot and re tighten the nut
For the perfectionistIf you'd rather do it without breaking things, go get a re manufactured wiper motor assembly and replace it, assuring that the holes in the arms aren't stripped out.

How do fix your windshield wipers on your Mazda Protege?
i put a new windshield wiper moter in and the fuses are fine but my wipers still wont work
Why do the wipers stay in the up position when off?
They usually don't do that, but if you turn the car off while they're still going, they might get stuck that way. To fix that just turn the car back on. They should go back to the "down" position, then you can turn the car off again.
Why won't my wipers stop on 1989 Aerostar after replacing the switch and motor and the wipers still run when there is no switch installed and have no intermittent mode could it be the governor?

I have replaced the windshield wiper motor and the washer pump and my wipers still don't work how do i fix the windshield wipers on my 1969 Chevrolet Camaro?

Why would the delay wipers stop in the up position but when turned off they park in the down position on a 1997 Chevy Cavalier?
this also is happening to me right now, and 600 dollars later i still have windshield wipers that work perfectly unless in intermittent, in which case they pause upright... Remove the plastic that covers your wiper motor just below the windshield. On the wiper motor there is a small plate held on by screws, remove the plate. You will see two metal tabs, one of which appears bent. Bend it back and reassemble. The problem usually occurs when the wipers are held in place, by ice for instance, and the switch is turned on.

What could be the problem when turn signals blink twice then stay off on a 2000 Oldsmobile intrigue?
not sure what causes it, but sometimes my signals will just not work. with lever still in position to activate signal, push button for hazards. then put signal lever in "off" position. turn off hazards. signals should work. temporarily anyway.

Are the stars still visible in their original position?
yes, the stars are still visible in the original position
How do you change the wiper arm on a 1999 Chrysler Town and Country?
They don't pull out like most wiper arms. So you have to turn on the power to your van & turn the wipers on, then shut the power off to the vehicle when the wipers are in the straight up and down position. Then you can pull the blades off. It's still a small space to work with. Just be careful not to let the wiper arm snap back into place (scratch or crack your windshield).
Why do the wipers on your 1991 park avenue slap on the downward stroke they hit the stops on the bottom of the windshield which makes a loud noise?
This answer is from my own past experiences. It is not guaranteed, but it has helped me and friends in the past. I have found that the wipers are sometimes incorrectly adjusted, somtimes due to years of use/adjustment slippage. The wiper motor drives the wipers with a drive arm. The actual wipers themselves are attached to this drive arm with a screw. If the wipers are hitting the park-stops on every wipe, the adjustment screw needs adjusted. Basically, turn the wipers off. Here is where it gets a bit tricky. The bottom part of the windshield, where the wipers recede, there may be a screw to open an access plate (probably plastic) where you can lower a nut driver (same as a screw driver, but with a socket end on it) and loosen the bolt below. God, this is hard to explain on a simple internet text message. Now, with the wipers off, and the screw loosened, manually move the wipers to their normally parked position, probably a very slight move. Now, lock that screw/bolt down. Tighten it and try the wipers once again. If the problem is still present, then the main bolt on the wiper motor itself needs loosened, repositioned, and tightened.
Why do your windshield wipers work if you push the lever down but not when you turn on?
If the windshield wipers work when pushing the lever down but not when they are turned on all the time, the problem could be in the wiper motor relay switch. There are two different relay switches for the windshield wipers, so that if the one fails a person can still clear the windshield manually.
