Fixing windshield wipers that don’t stop where they should

My name is Austin, this is Mopar Garage, and we build cool stuff in here! Today we are continuing the repair of the windshield wiper issues on the Second Gen Dodge Truck. We've got wipers now but they are returning to the upright position instead of the resting position. The issue stemmed from where the linkage connects to the spline drive on the motor. This can be used as a how to video for any 1994-2001 Dodge Ram Pickup.

Thanks for the video, mine are coming to rest a little too high, makes me think I can reset it. Mostly commenting to say I feel your pain with the barking neighbor dogs!

Thanks for watching man! From what I understand, the earlier 2nd gens (94-97) are keyed so that they only go on one way. The later ones (98-01) are open splined for whatever reason. Weird. Can’t stand the dogs man, I don’t know how people deal with that going on in their own yard!

Well Yeehaw! Strange issue there. Seems like Ma Mopar could have used a keyed mechanism so it only goes on one way instead of using splines and an interference fit. Good fix!!

[@TheMoparGarage]

Agreed! If they had used a dang key it wouldn’t still be slightly off. Well heck it wouldn’t have been off in the first place 😂
