My windshield wiper motor took a **** on me earlier this week. I bought a new one, followed directions in my repair manual, and let the motor run a cycle and then stop on the park position, before actually hooking it up to the wipers. After I hooked it up, I turned on the wipers with them at the bottom, in park position. Only problem is, when it parks, the blades are all the way up, instead of at the bottom of the windshield. It does this both when I turn them off, and when I put them on intermittent. What could I have done wrong? Everything pretty much has one way to be mounted?

bolted the arms down when the motor was up? Did that on a windstar once...

Am I correct to assume that when I let it run a full cycle on intermittent, that it would have stopped at the bottom though? It's what I did, and trying to mess around with the wiper arms just makes things worse.
