>> Wipers now work, but cannot be turned off unless you pull some plug
My '65 Mustang works like this. I believe it's a problem with whatever
it is inside the wiper motor/gearbox that tells the wipers to 'park'.
The shop manual for my Mustang says I have to remove the wiper motor
and partially disassemble it to set some clearance to make it park the
wipers correctly. Since it's been 90-100 degrees, I'm no mechanic, and
I'd have to crawl up under the dash to even get the wiper motor out...
I have not even attempted the fix yet. ;-) :-)
I think Spridget wiper motors are LOTS easier to get to. :-) :-) :-)
So for now I just turn the wiper switch off, put the car in neutral and
turn the engine off at the right time to 'park' the wipers while the car
just coasts down I-40, then restart the engine and drive on. (The wipers
have to turn ON to pass inspection, but they -don't- have to turn OFF. ;-) )
