Best Answer

the park tab is bent. it is a thick piece of metal that must be bent back slightly toward the wiper motor with a hammer or plyers.

I assume this issue started when there was snow/ice on the windshield?

Why do the wipers stay up during an intermittent cycle?

The "park" signal on the wiper motor is off. The wipers should stay off their cradles about an inch or so. If the ignition key is turned off during an intermittent wipe, the blades may stay at some position on the windshield. They'll return as soon as the next cycle comes up after the ignition is turned on. If they do not behave this way, you likely have a bad wiper motor assembly, which has the control circuit that parks the blades.


Why do 2001 mercury grand marquis wind shield wipers stay up when off?

I had the same problem with my 92 Grand Marquis. Seems that the windshield wiper motor was running in the opposite direction for one reason or another. You may need to replace the motor or have someone look at it. Fortunately for me, my mechanic drilled a hold on the motor and flipped around, now my windshield wipers stay down when not being used, however they stay up when in use... weird.


Why would the windshield wipers work but stay in the up position when turned off on a 1994 camaro?

The motor shaft and the wipers are'nt connected properly(the timing is off), just disconnect the wipers from the motor. Turn your car on and cycle the motor and it should be back at the home position. Pull your wipers back down and reconnect and all should be fine.Thats if you put in a new wipermotor. If not, maybe the wiper switch is bad.
