    We have an 07 Freightliner century. I put a new wiper motor in and now my wipers stop in the middle of the windshield. I tried to just pop them off and set them at the park position but that didn't work. Any ideas?

    you could have the wrong motor.

    if not, then......

    take off the transmission. (wiper arm rod to the motor)

    turn on the motor, let it cycle at least 2 full times.

    then shut off the switch, it'll go into the park position

    then reattach the wiper arm transmission.

    cycle the system again, making sure to use the washer fluid to lube the glass for easier gliding across.

    If you have the proper motor and linkage, you leave the arms off, turn the wipers on then off and let it finish it's cycle. Where it stops should be the park position and where you reinstall the arms.
