hey! newb here. anyone have a problem with their wipers? My intermitent stopped working and they don't return were they are supposed to. I did a seach but couldn't find anything. It might be the switch, but thought I'de check before i go buy one. Also having trouble reoving the old one. I took out 2 screws but couldn't find anymore. the switch wouldn't budge. Anyone have a good 2005 manual? mine isn't very good. also looking for owners manual, is that online? (i lost mine ).

Do they stop in the same place each time ??

Does the mist function work ??

i think the switch gets stuck or something internally. i struggle with this on the 92 accord. most of the time the wiper just stops in the middle and i have to turn it past the intermittant so they go back down.

Yeah, the mist works, int doesn't (I have 2 slow possitions now), and they don't return to the same possition, only if I time it right with the single wipe. If I shut off from the slow possition, it goes for a bit and shuts off randomly.
Any ideas? I hope its not the multi function unit behind the fuse box cause thats $488 from honda. yikes.

Here is the info from the manual, Let us know what you find out.

thanks for the diagram, its the same one I've got though

I think I'll try replacing the switch (something tells me that not it) and then look for the control unit at a wrecker. I'll post what I find out.

usually this turns out to be a bad wiper motor. The park switch inside doesn't tell the motor to shut off when they are in the "park" position, so they continue to run for a while, and stop wherever they want.

thanks for the info! Maybe I'll try a wiper motor from the wrecker first. Seems to me that something is controling the motor and telling it when to "park".
