How do you reset your windshield wipers?
Your wipers may need resetting due to loosening up over time, or being forced out of position when an abnormal amount of stress was placed on the wipers, such as clearing large chunks of ice. Resetting the wipers involves removing the wiper linkage and manually placing the blades in the right position.
Why wont my wipers turn on?
The most common electrical problem in your windshield wiper system is a blown fuse so that’s a good place to start. The fuse will most likely be in the main fuse block under the hood. Other problems could include a burnt out wiper motor, a problem with the wiper control switch or a problem with the delay module.
Why are my windshield wipers turning on by itself and I cant turn them off?

Why are my wipers not parking in the park position?
Wipers not ‘parking’ is the result of a worn wiper arm assembly, (part of the wiper motor). I had to replace one on my ’00 Olds Silhouette for the same reason. It sounds like the cam for the park position needs to be moved 180 degrees. It is in the opposite position somehow.
