you sir, are my hero. I spent time researching this issue and saw the link you provided to this video. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to share this; I can't imagine having the patience to film this while fixing it as well. Your video is stellar and the step by step way you put it together is brilliant. Thanks much for sharing, can't thank you enough
any ideas on how to fix wipers that stop wherever they are when I shut them off? I think a better way of putting that is the auto-return isn't doing anything?
We are going to try this this weekend. I have been driving with my wipers in the up position for over a year now...very embarassing. The repair man wants to charge $480 to replace the park lever.
I had the same problem with my 02 crown vic, I thought it was going have to be taken to a car place to be fix. Thanks for the video upload to help! I saw it was snowing.. and you still made this, Thanks!
You are a life saver!!!! This just happened to my car and I read about how to do this but was totally lost until I saw this video. Thank you so much for posting this!
@learial I am happy to hear comments! As I advised the other posters just be careful and make sure you scrape your windshield very well before starting the car in the winter. If there is ice on the windsheild & the wipers are turned on this problem will reoccur quickly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. My wipers were stuck up and everywhere I went to they suggested putting in a new wiper module board that would cost me 190 and thats before they try to talk me into a new motor as well. I watch the video and was done in less than an hour. Your a life saver bro much appreciated

@PJMPercussion Thanks for the comment.. This happened to my car a couple years ago & probably will happen again but this is a quick and easy fix that should last for a while until you need to fix it again. Just take care not to turn on the wipers before the windshield is scraped & you doublecheck that the wipers are unstuck by making sure they are free & it should last a year or two before the next time.
If you are at the 7:37 timeframe in the video where it shows the transmission gold tab just to the right of the silver large tab....
I must explain that here
You must turn the wipers on low to get the wiper(s) in the park position temporily. They will be in park when they are not cleaning the windsheild most of the time when running on low.
So at 7:37 I have the wipers on low...and this allows you to see both gold and silver tabs and how they align. Be careful as the wipers are on!

@TheTeslin You're welcome. It seems to restick about once a year so each successive time I fix it things are easier.

Is your fix still holding up? This happened to me before and I took it too a mechanic. I am going to fix it myself this time. Thanks!

@mmz77 The car I tried this on was totaled in August. It lasted for about a year every time I fixed it (I think I fixed it 3 times in about 3 years).

@MichiganFlyer2 I meant to say above the gold tab is just left of the silver tab....
