Wiper Motor Shot???

[74ChargerRallye]

I have a 74 charger rallye with a two speed wiper motor.  The motor works, but when I turn it off the motor and the wiper blades do not fold neatly back below the hood.  They stop at the point at which the wiper switch was turned off.  Is the motor shot, can it be rebuilt, or is it a simple wiring problem?  If it is the later, how do I correct the wiring problem?

Thanks

With the key on one wire to the motor will have power even when the wiper switch is off, that's what the motor uses to park itself.

If you have that then the wiper motor has a bad park switch.  Just get a reman motor.  The two speeds are cheap.

eeehm.. maybe you can have cluster switch damaged. As stated by plumcrazy one wire is powered even turned off, because makes turns on opposite direction the motor to make work a parking cam system mounted on crank linkage to hide the wipers. When the motor ends to make the complete opposite direction turn, inside motor a lever located on gear/shaft assembly cuts the power to stop the motor.

Let me know where you can find them. They were still available a few years back, but I can't find them anymore.

That ain't exactly cheap.

I bought one back in '99 or so from Autozone and paid like 29 bucks. Not anymore.
