2008 Astoria Wiper issues

[WYDan]

Started having issues with my wipers this year. The wipers want to stop virtical instead of horizontal.

Thor thought it might be the dash switch so I have changed it. $100+ later and the same issue.

Ideas anyone?

Had a similar issue with mine, ended up being the wiper arm. There is a wedge inside the wiper arm where it mounts to the body. Mine was cracked and allowed the arm to stop in a vertical postion. Couldn't find one on the road, so I got some JB Weld and repaired it.

Thanks. While looking for the stop, I found a nut that was loose allowing slippage. Retightened after aligning the blades and all is well now. Thought I had checked all of the connections, but must have missed this one.

Thanks!
