New wiper motor - now wiper works for 10 swipes only regardless of setting

[NightOwl]

Just had the wiper motor mod on Friday. It’s raining today, so first chance to see it in rain. So it doesn’t come on automatically. And when I press the wiper button, it comes on for 10 swipes and turns off until I press the button again. Regardless of whether it’s in auto mode or any of the other modes. And now it’s also parking in the down position as well. Even when I parked it in our garage.

problem happens in FSD. So I turned off FSD and same problem. Tried software reset and have same problem.

I’m working with Tesla through the app, but so far no fix. Has anyone else experienced this?

I would drive back to the SC and not leave until they fix it. They are usually good about working people in when it's a safety issue.

Nope but I have experienced how crappy the fluid dispense is ! I mean damn wiper wipes it off before it hits the window even at a stop light

Probably going to do just that tomorrow. (I’m retired, but had something else going on today.)

My wiper recall was done last Thursday and now it parks where it should, but then when I start driving it moves a couple inches onto the windshield. Haven't driven it in the rain yet to see if it does what you're seeing. Too far to the service center to just drop by and next appt is a month out.

Same here. New motor works fine in rain, but now it parks on the edge of the windshield as compared to it being tucked out of sight from drivers view.

They can fix that...I had that issue too. They just need to take it off the spindle and move it one notch to the right. Its actually something you can do yourself if you are up for wrestling the arm off the bolt.

Mine did the exact same thing after the recall repair. They sent a mobile van and all he did was redo the software. He said somebody probably skipped a step at the service center. Works good now except the blade now sits just a few inches off the edge. Not enough to be annoying.

Good to know, thx! I’m glad to know it’s easily fixed.
I’ll let them know that’s what fixed it so they don’t struggle either trying to g to figure it out.

I had this issue. They didn’t calibrate the new motor. Mobile tech fixed it.

I need to try mine out some more, but mine also parks in the down position, randomly. I have it on an upcoming service ticket so sounds like easy to fix I guess.

I don't think physically moving the arm on the motor will fix my issue. It parks fine, but when driving it moves onto the window a couple inches. Aligning it differently on the motor will just make it do that in a different clocking, but it will still be moving.

The wiper intentionally stops at the bottom briefly when over a certain speed (20mph?) so that the water trapped underneath can run out the sides.

Oh, good to know. Thank you. I'll give that scenario a try. Separate question, I can look up to see if posted already, but I'm still on 2024.32.100 since Nov 1 delivery, is that normal? Thought I'd have a newer download by now.

I better go test mine out lol

I had it installed a month ago but I don’t think I’ve used the wiper even once yet
