Wipers at 12 o Clock

[E46Dude]

Any of you folks ran into an issue with your wipers stuck at the 12'O Clock position?

They run the cycle fine...but stop at 12'O clock. Have to push them back in place...its damn annoying too.

Dont want to change the whole motor because they work fine..just dont stop properly...

Any ideas?

are they getting stuck even after got return to the original location?
if left at 12 position in the next cycle return to the original location or 12?
what about the (auto, mid,high)cycle?

[E46Dude]

Same thing. In all the cycles it finishes up in the 12-o clock. Even after I push it down, as soon as I restart them in any cycle they always stop at 12-0-clock....

Took em off and realighned them...dont know how they got screwed maybe it was because of the ice etc.

Problem started again

Just for anyone else who may have the same problem...I took it to a shop and it looks like Ill need a new motor....a shame because the motor does everything right just doesent stop at the right spot...lol!

If the wipers stop at 12 - that sounds like the arms may be getting stuck somewhere in the cycle.

It could be that your wiper arm slipped, it could be your wiper control relay or wiper parking switch. Wiper parking switch is part of the motor
