Windshield wipers parking problem

[LukeSkywalker]

My wipers still try to park in the middle of the windshield. 3 speed switch and motor. Everything else seem ok.
Tried grounding motor and switch, but no difference. Any advise on what might cause this..?

Can you take a photo of the switch plate timing and post it?  Sounds to me like the timing on the switch plate is incorrect

Kim's probably right.   Just thought I'd post a pic of the position of my switch plate/timing thingy.

I edited John's photo showing the timing nib locations for both E body applications and B Body applications...thanks for the great photo John and that motor is timed correctly

Thanks for editting my picture Kim and confirmation on it's timing "nib". I was wondering what to call that thing instead of a "thingy".

[passion4mopars]

For lack of a better word and rambling through thoughts on the phone with someone now and again I've been known to call it a "tit"....aghghggh but it is something we all understand right?  LOL

The wires look bad but are all ok. Nothing touches ground, just looks like it does..

How do I adjust timing on switch plate?

[passion4mopars]

Real hard to tell from the photo but it looks like it's timed properly....next question, part number on the crank arm.....what's the part number on the motor?

Wanna give me a call?  865-365-5833   Let's see if we can walk through this?

You can loosen the screws holding the switch plate to a point where you can lift and turn it, but yours looks like it's timed correctly....have you done a 2 to 3 speed conversion?  Replaced the crank arm?  Driver's side pivot or anything else been modified?

I don't know what's been done to it other than what I did, and that was to change from a 2 speed switch to a 3 speed..

With the 2 speed switch it wouldn't attempt to park at all. Went from bottom to top of windshield, and when turned off it parked at bottom of windshield - did not attempt to go further down.
I'll take the grille off the top and take a picture and see if I can find a number on motor and arm.
Is the link between the long crank arm and the motor possible to mount wrong?

Doubt a phonecall would do any good, as my terminology suck in writing and is even worse performed vocally...
I might be able to film it running and youtube it.

   You're talking to a blonde....if you speak blondinese we'll do fine  LOL

Here's the part numbers you want to make sure that you have with your 3 speed motor:

wiper motor crank  part #2822289-(70-71)
link from the motor to the driver's side pivot  part #2822293(70-71)
Variable speed switch

The crank arm part number, of course, is going to be on the side mounted closest to the wiper motor

This post has photos of the E body wiper motor transmission assembly, it might help you

Thank you, that helps !

I do remember the small arm on the motors position when parked. Its facing the driverside.

[passion4mopars]

When it's parked it should be parallel with the cylinder of the motor.  I'll put a crank arm on the next motor up on my bench and shoot a photo of it in the parked position if you want me to, but it should be parallel when parked

Then I think it's in the right position as it stands. I'll check the partnumbers.
