Winshield wipers don't go down when turned off
Sunday, March 05, 2006 1:25 PM
When in use my wipers function fine. When I turn them off instead of nesting back down towards the hood where they belong they go all the way upright. Is there an easy solution to this problem? Any advice is apprecaited.


Car:
1997 Chevy Cavalier
2.2L Engine

Did you touch your wipers at all?

Cause that only happens when someone tries the one wiper mod.

nope never modified them or anything. My mom borrowed my car for the week and said they did it when she went to turn them off one day. Since then every time they get shut off they do it.

The same thing happened to me last year....your gears in your wipers are stipped and they need to be replaced. It happens when you try using your wipers to remove heavy snow from your windshield or what not, anyway i would contact a dealer or a shop on how much it would cost to replace.
