Wiper Motor Operation

[340Challman]

Wow! That is not what I was expecting. I know what the linkage is hitting now. Itself! It is maxing out the pivot to the point that the linkage is hitting the pivot. 

I wonder if that was what GoMangoBoys had happening as well. I don't remember seeing in his thread that he determined what was limiting his travel. The only thing I can think of that could cause this is the distance between the motor and drivers side pivot is too short. If that is the case, there is also a possibility that the distance between the two pivots is also too short. That will cause the pass wiper to wipe farther toward the drivers side. Shouldn't impact anything, just wipe farther than it should. If this is the actual issue, the only solution is to shorten the drive linkage. That shouldn't cause the drivers wiper to over travel because once the arm is installed at the proper parked position it is the same degrees of rotation on the motor to the fully up position. The arm on the motor determines the amount of wipe. Bigger circle, more wipe.

I don't believe I will cut my linkage though. I will simply move my bushing location the required amount. That can be easily undone by welding in a plug and putting the bushing back where it belongs.

Wow! Never a dull moment.

Is it possible the connecting (equalizer) linkage is on the wrong post on the drivers (L) pivot. it crisscrosses. A common mistake is to assemble both ends on the "top". Pictures are my stuff, not off the web. Click on both pics, these will enlarge a bit, or download them.

I'm not sure that you could without putting the bushing in a bind. There is an offset bend in the linkage on at least one end. Plus the bushing would then be upside down. You wouldn't be riding on the correct surface. Mine are installed as in your picture. With everything being original factory parts, my money is on the only part that is not from Ma Mopar, the upper cowl.

There's got to be someone out there that used an AMD eBody cowl and can chime in, maybe even take measurements.

Anybody out there install an AMD upper cowl and have similar or any problems?
