Wipers stuck on
« on: October 09 2021, 12:07:59 PM »
I’ve been working on my various electrical issues and finally replaced the turn signal stalk. Cruise control now works but I still have a wiper problem. They stay on all the time. I had a switch across a blown fuse to get by  :icon_redface:
The wipers are still running with the new stalk in. HELP!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Steve, thanks again for your help. I found this on the Turbo Buick’s site.

Generally it's the $50 wiper cover that needs replacing.

Wiper washer with pulsed wiper application needed.

If you pull that cover off when the wipers are down and near parked you may find the mechanical arm isn't engaging correctly or disengaging actually to help park the wipers.

The mechanical arm has to fall into a detent in the wheel in there to park the wipers (turn them off).

You might be able to take off the cover and lube the arm/wheel or see if anything is broken in there.

The arm moves into the detent and should kill power to the motor when it works right.
