Wiper problem
I'm sad now to know you weren't warned in advance. Hopefully not too much damage done.
So you pretty much know now that is was put together 180 wrong. I really don't know how much gap there is in the electrical park switch, how much over throw would exist from one side to the other. 180 at pitman just might fix it. If not, the park switch is adjustable.
I was working for auto service center that did various repairs for a couple used car lots. So this cute lil gal bought a car with a wiper problem. She brought it to be fixed on the car lots dime. The guy doing the wiper motor R&R, and our boss man, were much more interested in her than any work being done. I never will forget the look on her face when Danny turned the switch on. All the flirting ended. The shop paid for the hood repaint.
Don’t worry, there wasn’t too much damage done. Two small gouges, one underneath each wiper. We have some re-sprayed touch up work to do on the Cowell anyways so the sanding and blending will be the hardest part. No big deal, we get the paint ourselves, and will do the touch ups also. LOL.
We do feel a little bit silly that we didn’t check this first before putting the arms on. Stupid mistake, lesson learned. LOL.
I will be honest though, I don’t quite understand the 180° off. The way I’m looking at it, we’re only a little bit off. Maybe an eighth of a rotation.
The only thing I can think of, is that somehow, in advertently, the arm on the motor got moved without power to it. I don’t know if that would cause the park position to move or not.
The first cruise in of the year is May 1. Prom is May 4. So we have a deadline. LOL.
Hopefully we can whoop this thing tomorrow. We have a spare 1963 wiper motor sitting on the bench that we can experiment with before we tear the installed one out of the car. Because that won’t be fun. LOL
Thank you again for all the assistance. We greatly appreciate it.
