Windshield Wipers

Driving for 7 hrs from San Diego to CA Central Valley last week I had to run my wipers most of the trip toward the end when I turned off my wipers they stop at the middle of the windshield instead at the center any ideas on the problem.

If it does this consistently, ie: it repeatedly stops in the middle of the windshield... I'd guess that your WW linkage slipped a few teeth on the motor gear that drives it all. You might be able to remove the motor shaft holding nut... manually move the wipers to the proper parked position... and then re-tighten the nut.

Good Luck...

Thanks I looked at the nut and it's all messed up looks like someone had this problem before, I was looking foe an easier solution I may need to replace some parts.

I will see what I can do.

The wiper motor and mechanical parts are supplied by the body builder rather than Freightliner. But the control switch & module probably comes from Freightliner - definitely does if you have the Smart Wheel. The problem could be in either place, so you may want to get help from other owners of your coach brand as well as here in the FL forum.
