1. Check the wiper motor:
- Locate the wiper motor, which is usually mounted on the firewall of your vehicle.
- With someone operating the wipers, check the motor to see if it operates when switching to the delay position. If the problem is the wiper motor, it will not operate smoothly and may stop in an unusual position.
2. Inspect the wiper linkage:
- The wiper linkage is a series of arms and pivots that connect the wiper motor to the wiper blades.
- Inspect the linkage for any damage, loose connections, or obstructions that could prevent the wipers from parking correctly.
- If you notice any issues, try tightening the connections or removing the obstruction.
3. Check the wiper transmission:
- The wiper transmission is a gearbox that connects the motor to the wiper linkage.
- If the transmission is faulty, it may not be able to engage the park position properly. Look for any signs of damage or wear on the transmission and replace it if necessary.
4. Check the wiper control module.
- The wiper control module is responsible for controlling the operation of the wipers.
- If the module is faulty, it may not be sending the correct signals to the wiper motor, resulting in the wipers not parking correctly.
- You can try resetting the module by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it. If the problem persists, the module may need to be replaced.
