I've just noticed that if i put my wipers on the delayed mode (First click down). That my wipers tick up like a clock!? it's really strange! Like they just start ticking up like a second hand on a clock!

 

Is it a relay issue?? Or what??

 

Please help!

 

PS: My wipers work fine on the other modes!

mine do it too....but only when it's raining

 

 

I have a feeling it has to do with the sensor in the motor that tells the circuit when the arm is in the 'park' position.....one of these days I'll pull it apart and see if I can't fix it.

Yeah ok! I'm not to worryed about it. I did take apart the rear wiper motor! Because the arm got about hafe way and then it stoped. So i packed it with grease and now it work's like pro! Yeah someday i will look at it! I kinda figure'd it was a sensor or relay. Thanx:)

I have the same problem; I was told that it is fixed by adding an additional ground wire between the body of the wiper motor and the chassis of the car, but I havent gotten around to it yet. I also have a spare wiper control relay, but since I have variable intermittents I do now know if it will work in my car...

 

I am betting cash money that even if the ground wire is the "fix," taking it apart, cleaning it, and lubing it is the REAL fix. Also, dont forget to lube the wiper linkages while you have access to the whole apparatus; it makes a world of difference after 20 years.

my 86 did the same thing, a ground wire didn't help, took it apart and it was indeed the park sensor, with a little work i was able to fix it. if you have a junkyard near you it can save a little work. but it wasn't too bad to do

Well how do you fix the (Park sensor)? I will have to do that sometime. but not thins weekend, I'm going to paint my front fenders finaly:lol:

I think I took mine apart and everything looked fine. Adding the ground wire is what made it work. (and has worked for the last several years).
