I pulled my wiper motor and cleaned/regreased the contacts yesterday, and I am still having the same problems with it stopping halfway down on the last wipe instead of parking where it should on settings 1 & 3 clicks up. I have another motor that I know works that I am considering putting in, but not sure how I would go about making sure the shaft is lined up properly with the linkage. Anyone have any good suggestions?

1. Take out old motor.
2. Fit new motor.
3. Remove wiper arms.
4. Run motor until it stops in the park position.
5. Refit wipers in park position.
6. If further adjustment is needed undo the nut on the motor and move the wipers.
