EUREKA Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I recently did this upgrade, https://comancheclub.com/topic/70869-upgrade-your-windshield-wipers-for-good-2001-xj-wiper-motor-swap/page/2/#comment-760456 I guess I either clocked the assembly to the motor incorrectly or something else is going on because my wipers now rest/stop in the up position and wipe downwards. Any idea what I did wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizzaman09 Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I had this problem on a Suzuki Samurai where they parked at about a 45 degree angle, finished swiping up, then swiped down then went back up to 45 degrees. You have a clocking problem somewhere in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUREKA Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Thanks pizzaman, that's what I figured. I get it straightened out this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 My guess is the motor arm is on the motor 180° out. The motor has an asymetrical notched tip that fits one way into the hole on the arm, but it looks like it could go two ways. I did this “upgrade” (not convinced it’s not just a new motor with a different plug) a couple days ago and nearly did that until I realized the arm slots on nicely the opposite way I was trying to put it on. Its really the only way it could go backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
