If the wipers are not parking correctly, you may simply need to replace the wiper motor. The wipers park when the motor runs backwards after the main power is cut off, and sometimes the switch gets broken inside the unit.
If they are standing up, they are not parking. That indicates that there is a problem. It is not a matter of changing a setting. It is a matter of finding out what is wrong and fixing it. Chances are that you need a new wiper motor, because the park switch has probably gone bad.
How do you replace the rear windshield wiper and wiper arm on a 2005 jeep grand Cherokee?
I do not have the answer for the wiper arm, however I have an answer for the wiper blade:
1. Be sure you get the right replacement wiper blade. The 2005 Jeep Cherokee has a special 14" rear wiper blade that fits the special rear arm. You can go to your dealer (which may be expensive) or you can look into 'Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blades' that snap right onto the special arm and look just like the factory original. They're available online.
Note that just because its a special arm, does not mean its hard to change.
Important: When buying windshield wiper blades be sure to always look up your make, model and year in the application guide book at the store

How do you change the blower resistor on a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado?
1. First locate the resistor housing which will be in the front passenger footwell right above were the passengers feet would be. It's easy to find just look for a plug with various colored wires, red, brown, light blue, yellow black and purple.
2. This is the resistor housing...you should see two or three 7/32 screws which hold the housing into the blower motor assembly. Remove the screws and the resistor module should slide out.
3. Follow the purple and black wires back to the blower motor connector. Squeeze and pull the connector...this may take a number of tries but it will come out. If you can not get you fingers or a tool in to depress the clip on the connector to release, try removing front screw of fan motor cover. The plastic cover drops enough from the front to see the connector clip clearly, then aim a long screw driver to depress the clip for release.
The part number on the module is 15305077 but you will have an easier time finding it on the Internet or via a parts dealer if you use the GM P/N 89019089. This part is available at major retail auto part stores.
To re-install the module just do everything in reverse...If you continue to have problems with the resistors "burning out" you may have an over-voltage problem in the blower motor, which should be check out by a professional.

2002 Pontiac grand prix wiper motor how to replace?
You will need to take out the whole motor to replace it. It is usually best to get a mechanic to take care of it.
Maybe you should press the off button? or move the lever to the off position?
The nozzle of the sprayer may be plugged. Try sticking the end of a pin into the hole and working it around. Pour hot water over the nozzle and hose and tap them sharply a couple of times, then run the squirters.
If you press the stick and don't hear anything then your wiper motor is faulty or you've blown a fuse.
Also-humming noise when push to spray, maybe motor ok but I used hose to spray in water tank and hose sprayed lines to see if all going threw. maybe line clogged.

Why Wipers don't work on high?
Several possibilities are that:
1 the switch is bad on the high position.
2. There is a problem with the high speed wire from the switch to the motor.
3. The wiring inside of the wiper motor for the high speed is bad.
The way 2 speed wiper motors work is there are separate windings inside the motor for low and high speeds. Usually 2 wires come out of the motor for low and high and the common ground through the wiper motor body to the chassis of the vehicle. You apply 12v to one wire and get low and 12v to the other one for high speed.
The circuit they control is being overloaded or has some sort of fault.
It is caused due to higher amount of electricity passing through the fuse than it's specified capacity.
