Aligning the Wiper Trans in 03 Ion

KHoover · 05-04-2008, 11:49 AM

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions with aligning the wiper trans so both wiper arms operate correctly. I was able to switch out the trans but now I am stuck trying to get the wiper arms to work correctly. One time they both went in opposite directions another time they both went down and then I got them to go up a little, back down and up again.....can't seem to get it right. Any information would be GREATLY appreciated as this is my daily driver. thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Board.

The arm from the motor (the tip of it) needs to be pointing to the passenger side of the car. Basicly along the axis of the motor.
Remove/loosen the arm from the motor turn the wiper motor on and then let it stop to the park position. Now install the arm to the motor so that it is pointing to the passenger side.
