Windscreen wipers auto off

[Dylan]

Gday guys been playing with the wipers on my 82 ute. Im wondering how they stop once they are at the bottom by them selves, As in you turn them off on the stalk and they keep going till they are at the bottom?

I changed the motor over today and when fitting the arms i gave them a couple of turns with the switch and when i turned the switch off they stopped straight away. Wasn't untill i had the arms on and finished that it worked as it should.

Make sure the little earth strap is clean on BOTH ends.
This is just to start with.

Thanks mate, im guessing thats the one from the motor to firewall? I dont think that was on when i was playing around.

Lucky enough its all working now.

has anyone changed the arms (inside the plenum? the area under the cowl) before? any tips if so? my passenger side is snapped on the top where the wiper arm slips over and im going to have to do the motor and one of the arms

Cheers

I only had to undo the arms at the wiper motor, I had too just take a clip off the shaft from the motor and the two arms just pulled off.

First i had to remove the cover on the cowl (the cover with the slots in it) to access the arms etc.
There is 3 screws around where the wiper arms attatch to there shafts on the outside so i guess you undo them and it will come off.

Passenger's side is easy. Driver's side needs a contortionist and a long extension for socket and ratchet (and removal of the vent hole cover on A/C cars).
