Could be for many different reasons. Maybe the sensor for the normal position is defective. The wipers might need a position adjustment, usually can be done by a flat head screw driver.
The car wipers should not stay up but return to their original position. The wipers will stay up if the wiper motor, the wiper controller and the wiper linkage are faulty.
It sounds like the wiper motor is malfunctioning. If your camaro has intermitten wipers there is a control module built in the motor that controls the off position.
replace the wiper motor
remove wiper arms from vehicleturn wipers onthen turn wipers offshut off ignitionreplace wiper arms at the down positionthis should be the return position when ever u shut wipers off
A bad pulse board or window wiper motor can cause your wipers to stay in the "up" position.
The windshield wipers are not automatic... the lever that controls the wipers have three positions and you will have to pull the lever down to the off position. The position below off is for mist. If you pull the lever to that position and let it go, the lever will go back to the off position.
Under the hood on the passenger side.
first remove wiper arms from vehicle next with ignition on, turn wipers on then off. the wiper motor will stop at the down position. replace wiper arms onto shaft ,in the correct down position where you want them. now with ignition on, try wipers again,to check if in the stop position you want them.
My mechanic replaced a pin in my 2002 Pontiac Montana wiper motor and that solved the problem. It was a very easy fix. The pin is visible if you look at the top of the wiper motor.
Yes. It is accessed from under the hood, Passenger side right under windshield and if you are going to change it, before opening hood put windshield wipers in vertical position first.
