Pinpoint Test F: The Windshield Wipers Do Not Park At The Correct Position

Normal Operation

When the multifunction switch is placed in the OFF position, the motor continues to operate until the motor returns to the PARK position and the internal Hall-effect sensor senses the motor magnet. The output to the integral run/park relay deactivates the relay and disconnects the voltage to the motor.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiper mounting arm and pivot shaft

- Wiper motor
