[Shotimes] drizzle flippers

[Doug Barrett]

I had the same problem with my '93 - the problem is actually a little piece
of plastic in the motor assembly that gets worn out, so when the motor turns
backwards to park the wipers, the assembly does not catch properly.  I found
this little piece, figured out how it worked, then used a spring off an old
carburetor to give it some tension so it grabs the plastic correctly.  I'm
sure a new motor would have fixed it, but I'm cheap :)

Yep, that's the key thing, IMHO. The MFS causes other weird issues, but the
wiper "parking" issue seems to be only motor-related.

While I agree the switch is prone to failure, the parking problem is not
one of it's symptoms.  As others have mentioned, that's almost always a
problem with the wiper motor.

My bet is the multi-function switch. They are a known failure point for
all kinds of headlight and wiper problems. Good news they're plentiful,
cheap, and fairly easy to replace. Good luck!

Howdy,

I'm looking for some help for my wife's 94 SHO. The windshield wipers
have been acting up in that the only way to get them to park below the
cowl is to put the switch in the intermittent position and when the
wiper pauses turn them off. That worked for a couple of months but now
when you turn them off the wipers "park" position is straight up and
down. When in the intermittent position they pause at the base of the
windshield but when turned off they go vertical. Is there a common
failure for the wipers that will cause this? I've looked in the manuals
and other than getting a STAR tester and reading the codes from an
electronic module I really don't know of a path to follow to repair. 

Thanks for your help,
DG
