Wipers run the wrong way

[rc4mike]

OK, so i try to install my wipers on my 65 vert. The new motor stops the wipers in the vertical position rather than horizontal. Oviously the stop is in the wrong location. Any ideas?

thanks

Unless I'm not understanding your prob, it is a simple fix... Just take off the wiper arms and rotate to the correcte position.... unless it goes the wrong direction completely..

just leave them sticking up, it looks cool

If I understand you right the wipers are not going in the wrong direction but stopping in the wrong position, Is that right? I'm trying to remember the setup but it sounds like the arm coming off the motor is positioned wrong. Leave the motor in the position where it stopped then remove the arm (at the motors shaft) then move your whole wiper assembly to the down position and reinstall. I think this will work. I'll do a little research to see if I'm visualizing this right though.

Or you could do what tyler says. It'll made it look like your going warp speed!

I did the same thing. You connected the arms under the dash wrong; connecting to the motor. I did the same thing.

When i replaced the motor a few months ago i just pulled the old one down and bolted in the new. The new one turns the correct direction, just stops with the wipers pointing up rather than to the side. Of course i did not check the direction before installing the wiper blades...they nearly ripped across my freshly painted hood!

I figure i either have the "stop" wire on the wrong terminal or somehow the arms in the dash got out of sink when i replaced the motor.

well it turns out that when i attached the arms to the new motor the arm was 180 deg. off. I moved the arm today and now they work just fine. Thanks fo the help.
