STEVE-O Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I am pretty sure but I want to double check on this one My windshield wipers keep staying up on the windshield and will not go down when you turn them off. I am pretty sure it is the wiper motor but I want to double check before I replace it. does anyone have any ideas? or am I right? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Not the motor. It's the parking circuit on the motor housing cap. The cap contains several resistors, each one representing a certain delay speed for the intermittent function and one representing the park circuit (letting the wipers down back down when off). You can either get the cap assembly w/ board from the dealership (expensive) or from a junkyard, which I believe 93-02 all swap around. Be prepared, this is PITA repair since the motor assembly sucks to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen on other GMs were the parking tab gets bent and it'll do the same thing as described. I really doubt it's just the motor. Anthony has had these apart he knows what he's talking about.

AJ Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 if you go to a dealer (coughRicartChevycough) then its called a wiper cover. and IIRC they are about 70 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the smoothness while it lasts, my Baer Eradispeeds warped in a month, went to new stock ones with good pads and will NEVER go back.

Cereal_Killer Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 You replaced just the cover or the entire motor? I would have put a motor assembly on it if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 i replaced the cover only took about a half hour or so. the motor works fine otherwise it would not move them at all. and now they will stay down if i put them down i think ant is right it is a problem in the steering column i am going to tear into that this weekend and see what i can find.
