About wiper motor cycle
BarryG says "My wiper Motor does not cycle, it just goes around.When i push in the wiper arm it will stop but not in the resting spot."
Right, Barry, the motor just spins round and round. But it will stop, and in a particular position, when you switch it off. It's the linkage that makes the wiper arm go back and forth.
What is being said, put another way, is: Take off both wiper arms. Turn on the motor on for five seconds or using the switch. Turn off the wiper motor using the switch. The motor should stop in a position where the wiper arms will be in the "parked" position along the lower edge of the windshield. This will not be obvious because you have the wiper arm off. Never fear, reinstall the wiper arms in the parked position. You should be good to go.
If, however, after the above, the wiper does not stop in the correct position, reposition the wiper arm.
Several problems may occur. One, make sure the arm is securely attached to the little stub axle on which it mounts. Sometimes they slip, and life's not good. You can put stuff in between the stub axle and the wiper arm but it's likely temporary (others may say they have done it this way for years).
Two, if the wiper motor does not stop in the same place, there is a mechanism inside the little transmission attached to the motor, that gets gunked up with old grease. You have to remove the motor and trans from the linkage, open the trans and clean up the copper contacts inside. Reassemble, run the motor to find the parked position, and reinstall wiper arms.
You don't sound mechanically confident. Post your location and maybe one of us is nearby to help. I'm in Honolulu...
