dat521gatherer Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 so my 521 wipers have never parked right since i've owned it. i'm now finally getting around to screwing with it. my other 521 wipers park fine mind you. they fall 3 inches short of the correct position. i have to pull the switch out and in once really fast after that to get them parked in the correct position. there is no adjustment on the motor to correct this. my first idea was to try another switch, that didn't work. it just did the same thing. today i tried another motor and it did the same thing:blink:. hmmm, so i tried the spare motor on my truck with the correct parking motor and thats where things got weird. this time every time i turned the switch off the wipers parked where ever i turned off the switch:confused: so my process of elimination is failing. i looked at the wiring diagram and the switch and motor have no ground symbols next to them. blah freaking blah. have any of you had this problem and got it fixed. any idea's? i shall make sure all of the female wire connections are tweaked tomorrow. i have a few more switches i can try but it seems to have more to do with the motor? i may try taking out my motor and maybe switch that park correct and try them in my other truck but i have a feeling they will act funny. same datsun shit, different day. ya gotta love it. i know i do.:D Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 cant u just un bolt the wiper itself an reposition it then put the bolt back in? Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 It's not in the switch. It's in the contacts in the motor. Moving the arms only works if the motor is parking in the same spot everytime you shut it off. this might help....second pic down...read caption. http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3493&KW Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'd be looking at the contacts at the wiper motor plug. Quote Link to comment
