take the motor off the linkage, operate it, then fit it back on. Make sure the wipers are sitting where they should be.
Should have came down here mate, i'd have helped and you could have met Mark (red19rt) and Alan (A14LNC) as well. |

I know what you mean Stan, but will that not cause the wipers to go either to far down or to far across ?, at the moment that is perfect, its just the park position thats causeing grief ??? |

when you turn the motor on and off it will go back to its rest position.
if you take it out reset the linkage so its right it shoudl operate normally again.
Remember the motor only spins 1 way, not go then reverse etc.
if you struggle with it I'll have a look if ye want. |
