05 Altima Wiper Problem

[ejr12360]

I replaced the wiper motor and now the wipers stop near the top of the window instead of the bottom when I shut them off. I adjusted the wiper arms but no luck.

At certain wiper arm adjustments the wipers will start to go up then they go down below the windshield. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

Are the wipers keyed?

No not keyed.....Standard splined shaft.

1) Take the wiper arms off.
2) Turn ignition on, and turn the wiper motor on & off a few times.
3) Turn wiper motor off
4) Put wiper arms on in the parked pos.
