Where does the windshield wiper Park on a C240?
Got myself a ’98 C240 sport estate – all is lovely apart from the front wiper which parks itself about a third the way up the screen on the drivers side. the screen clears fine… when activated the wiper moves down to the base of the screen drivers side then over to pax side and back to same spot on drivers side.
How do you reset the wipers on a car?
Push the wiper linkage back onto the motor and replace the nut. Tightly secure it with the socket wrench. Turn the wipers on to test them. They should sweep the windshield as normal, then return to the park position at the bottom of the windshield.
How can one change the windshield wiper rest / park position?
Look at the position of arm marked by red. This is position similar to yours. By unscrewing the nut you can unplug the wiper arm from the motor, change the ZERO position of the wiper (because the motor position is ZERO when you turn off the ignition without the playing wiper), and screw the nut back. You will should have the view like this.
What should I do if my windshield wipers are not working?
The blades will not move since the linkage has been disconnected. Position the wiper blades in the correct park position. They should rest horizontal and parallel to the windshield. Push the wiper linkage back onto the motor and replace the nut. Tightly secure it with the socket wrench. Turn the wipers on to test them.
