How do I adjust wiper motor to linkage on a '01 Chevy Silverado I replaced the motor turned the wiper switch on then off then installed the blades but when I switch on the wipers turn counterclockwise?
A wiper motor cannot just be installed, you must also adjust the linkage. With the wiper motor in place and the linkage disconnected, turn the wiper motor ON briefly while you watch the motion of the motor shaft, then turn it off and let it seek it's natural "park" location. Now operate the wipers manually by moving the linkage, and before you connect the linkage to the motor, make sure the linkage is in the right position and will operate properly.

How do i adjust the park on the wiper motor on a 97 gmc pickup?
You need to start by disconnecting the wiper arm assembly from the splines on the wiper motor itself. Then you need to jog the motor, once, through its cycle until it stops at its "park" position. Turn off the key switch. Then reconnect the wiper arm assembly to the motor when the wiper blades are in the proper position on the windshield. Turn key back on, and test run the wiper motor to make sure the blades aren't going off the edges and that there is no binding. Adjust as needed. Reinstall all previously removed covers and cowling.
