Could be for many different reasons. Maybe the sensor for the normal position is defective. The wipers might need a position adjustment, usually can be done by a flat head screw driver.

Why do your front wipers fail to park?

Wiper motor cogs can wear down and fail to leave the wipers in the lowest position. If the wipers had encountered some resistance they can also slip. It could just be a simple fix.


1977 jeep cj5 wipers will not park?

If the wipers on your 1977 Jeep CJ5 are not parking correctly, it could be due to a faulty wiper motor, a malfunctioning park switch, or issues with the linkage. First, check the wiper motor for proper function and ensure that the park switch is working correctly; it should allow the wipers to return to the rest position when turned off. Inspect the linkage for any wear or misalignment as well. If these components are functioning, the issue may lie within the wiring or the switch itself.

Why do the windshield wipers shut off in the up position on a 2003 Pontiac Montana?

In a 2003 Pontiac Montana, the windshield wipers may shut off in the up position due to the design of the wiper motor's park feature. This feature allows the wipers to return to a designated resting position when turned off, which can sometimes be higher than expected if the motor or linkage is misaligned or if there's an issue with the wiper control system. Additionally, a malfunctioning wiper switch or an electrical issue could also contribute to this behavior. Regular maintenance and inspections can help resolve this issue.


What is the difference between self park and self switch wipers?

How do you reset the windshield wipers for a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

There is no "reset" in the wiper motor. If your wipers do not park, it is likely your wiper motor parking contact or cam is broken. Try running the wipers with the key in the "ON" position, then turn the wipers off using their switch while they are up on the windshield. They should park themselves at the bottom. The good news is a wiper motor is pretty cheap at a junkyard, and not too hard to replace.


Why do windshield wipers go on by themselves if replacing the switch did not help?

There is a sensor inside the wiper motor which keeps the wipers running until they reach the "park" position. If that sensor has failed, the wipers will continue to run, seeking the park postition and unable to find it. Wiper motors for American vehicles are often relatively inexpensive and should solve the problem for you.


Why do the windshield-wipers in a 1985 Ford Crown Victoria don't turn off when you try to turn them off?

Wiper motors have an internal switch that keeps the wiper running until it gets to the "park" position. Sometimes the internal switch fails and the wipers keep running, never sensing the park position. When that happens, you'll need to replace the wiper motor.

Why is it that myfront wiper of discovery 1996 does not park when turn off?

Probably because the park switch in the motor is bust. This supplies the motor with electricity (after you switch off the wiper) until the wipers are parked (i.e. returned to off position).
