Any one know what to look for with my wipers I've got a 73 d/c with the paddle type switches I've just fitted a new switch as the old one would not work on the 1st speed and would not self cancel now all works and self cancels but the park position has the wipers straight up and down its like the motor is going the wrong way

the position of the crank on the motor spline will be wrong,undo & move until the park is correct.

Out of interest are the wipers left park or right park? That is should they sleep on the drivers or passenger side? Our first bus wipers parked on the drivers side and this bus they park on the passenger side, and there were plastic bungs in the other holes.

Mine should park on the right side and I have no bungs in the front to block up any spare holes
