I installed a wiper motor bought on Ebay from a seller in Canada. The motor works, but when I turn it off, it comes to rest in the up position. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

Search for wiper park. I think there is something on this site about that. You might have to just google that with the model of your car.

SteveJ,

Was the park in the up position issue because the slot on the motor shaft was 180 out where the linkage goes over the motor shaft? Searching would be better but that is what I think I remember.

What you can try although it's time consuming is to turn off the wipers see where they are parked, take the wiper arms off the spindles and position them in the proper park position, turn them back on and see if they work correctly. It sounds like the wiper arm is 180 out. Just my 2¢.

When I turn the wipers off, the spindle rotates to the left.

Just a shot in the dark here.

Could there be left and right hand drive wiper motors?

My right hand drive 240 parks the wipers to the left as could be expected.
