Question
Hi There,
Could you help me on this, yesterday I shut my windshield wipers off and the stayed in the upright position.. I tried again today and they will not go back down... they work and everything but just won't go back down...  Your the best...


Answer
Hi Bonnie:

if the wipers work along with the squirts but park in the upright position it's a good chance the wiper delay board/cover is the issue here. it's a ckt. board bolted to the tops of the motor back in the day those would go bad and that was one of the issues along with delay not working. Good luck :0
