any ideas? intermitten seems to be gone and they seem to park about 1/3 of the way up. i forced them down and then removed the fuse and they stayed down. (temporary fix) fuse is good.

The basic adjustment of the linkage is off & needs re-set.

The nuts that hold the linkage to the motor & to the gearing must be un-tightened & then all of the components need to be set to the basic position.

i tried undoing the three bolts and resetting it. ended up bending a blade (no big deal) so now the park a little lower to see better, but still not parking in the right place.

i tried to reset the control arms but the middle knob for the wiper is 'squared out' so i could not just unbolt and move down then re-bolt. what if i disconnect the batter when i've forced them down. this is driving me nuts.
