Gwampa...this is the best I could find

 

Getting close shawn, thanks.

 

Awesome info! thanks Shawn. i have had this problem on my 05 for over a year and never fixed it for two reasons, i told told the trans would probably have to be replaced (by the dealer who i rarely go to for rip-off repairs anyway) and i have better places for my money to go when these wipers still work. ill take a look when my wife gets home.

just joined the forum because im a diy guy whever i can, and forums are great!

 

just called parts at the dealer and they said they dont have that part, its who whole transmission and about $200. who is this part number associated with?

thanks,
Matt

 

The little metal tab was stuck where it would not let the wipers "park". I lubricated the metal tab so it will move back and forth. Since then, I have had no problems. Thanks Guys!!

 

Hey all, my 2001 Impala had the same problem. I had read on some other forums that you can just bend the tab back into position. This worked for me, and I only had to take off the driver side wiper and the plastic cowls leading to the assembly that Shawn posted. Good Luck!!

 

Thanks a lot for informing us.
I really like to read forums about cars.
This is a great information.
I'll just bookmark this site for more updates.

You have to report this issue to GM with your VIN #.... I have an 04 & have the same problem. The REAL problem is no one is reporting it to GM so they can't recall it. They recall based on complaints received & info from dealer repairs. I can't afford a dealer repair on this so I am left doing it myself like a lot of you. EVEN IF YOU HAVE REPAIRED IT, you still should report it & if there is a recall then you can submit for a reimbursement. This thread is going to help me a TON when I do get to the repairs. Thanks for taking the time to blog the issue & how to fix it!
& BTW the effffffed up thing is there IS a recall out for this issue just not on the IMPALA.... how redonculous is that?
