Windshield wipers

Hi guys and gals, I finally got around to replacing the windshield wiper bushings. I pulled the whole assembly out and used a vise to put everything back together. I am reasonably certain that I got it all back together right, but now, the motor wants to stop with the wipers straight up, not laying down. It is almost like the motor is reversed. Could I have reassembled the mover bars incorrectly to cause this? Where is the stop control for the motor located, as part of the motor? I didn't mess with anything other than the mechanical part, no electrical. I have a new motor that I didn't install because the old one was still working. I am leaning towards taking it apart and replacing the motor, what think you guys...Mark

Well, Duuuuuuuuu!, I figured it out. I put the arm on the motor 180 out. I like to believe that that is a mistake that any genius could make ...Mark

Hi guys, I am having trouble finding wiper arms for my exact truck. I found some for a 93 b350. Is there a difference? thanks Mark

Mid 90's f150 worked great on my truck. I think there's a thread or two about it. Rock auto, Napa, Amazon I think all carry them. A bit of massaging their bends, but otherwise a straight swap out with hook ends. No more pins to fail

Per my parts manual the part number for the B series vans is different in my parts manual and the arm has an integrated washer nozzle, but it sure looks similar to the D/W series arm.
B Series
4169583 Arm, w/Nozzle, Wiper
4389063 Blade, Wiper
D/W Series
4389233 Arm, Wiper
4389062 Blade, Wiper
