Well after much cussing and ranting I have finally got the wipers installed and the dash and defrosters back together. I could not get the wiper connections from the harness to reach the motor until the dash was installed, so I just ran a hot wire and a ground to the wiper motor to check the movement. All was well..... so I thought. When the dash was installed I finished the final wiring to the wiper motor from the switch and installed the wiper arms and blades where I had marked them so they would park in the right position. When I turned the switch on the wiper arms parked 180 degrees out of position! Looking at the various manuals I have I see I can open the motor cover and reset the limit switch 180 degrees. Due to the fact that I have converted to negative ground could it be that the motor is running backwards? Would switching the positive and negative wires allow the wiper arms to park ( or Stop ) in the correct position? Thanks Much, Don
