84-88 Windshield Wiper Motor Rebuild. Sort of.

Your motor is obviously not in the parked position. Cover disc looks to be in a good place. Big gear is about 180 out. By all rights when you turn it off, the solenoid should This is in the parked position:

Just wondering why you replaced your motor. Was it bad? Not saying they don't die, but they're pretty robust for what they are.

Another thing that might be screwing you is a bad cover. Which there is NO aftermarket support for, nor anyone I know of that repairs them, and new ones are unobtanium. There are little relay solenoids inside that cover and all the electronic crap I have no idea about. Electrical issues are not my strong point. If it's not energizing the park solenoid, it's never going to stop. Was it doing the same thing before you changed out the motor?

You can put the cover back on the way it is in your pics because the "pin" for the rotator in the cover is in the right place. You can plug up that weird power connector lead for the unit and then run a ground wire from the case to a car ground point somewhere and test it that way. It should work the way it would in the car, without having to go through the trouble of taking it out and putting in in.

There's a troubleshooting guide in the CSM electrical manual, but it's not super-detailed. It does not go into what's happening inside the cover.

Here's the plug layout the CSM Elec manual mentions for connector 1 and 2:

You are the man! Thank you. I was able to run it to get the pin in the sitting slot but I only get one speed. I believe it’s high. Not sure what else I can look for . I’m going to look in service manual again and try some other stuff out. There is no external relay for this is there? I suck at all things electrical.

The reason I replaced was because it wasn’t working. But it wasn’t working due to broken ground strip. It was also ugly and not fitting into the scheme of the engine bay.

Just trying to have everything complete before paint. Which is becoming very hard to find. Everyone down here thinks every thing is Kandy paint and everyone’s a millionaire
