Electrical problem
1998 Acura TL 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi

I recently brought a new windshield wiper motor for a 1998 acura tl 3.2 vehicle.The motor works but every since then the wiper won't park in the down position, they park up on the windshield and the blades don't go all the way across the window when on. Can you give me some suggestion on how to fix this problems

you will need to readjust them since you replaced the motor. you can take each one off at the base and then turn on and off the wipers. once wiper motor stops, replace the wiper arms back onto the base in the down position. then turn on wipers again and check for proper operation.
