My ventuer yr. 2000 wiper blades stay up right after cycle/key turned in the off position.

If you turn off the key with wipers in mid-cycle, the wipers will stop right where they are. The wipers won't park till the next ignition cycle.

The park switch inside the motor gearbox is not working.

Turn your wipers off, using the stalk on the left side of your steering column. Turn your ignition off and remove the key.

2

Pull the wiper blade up to lift it to the service position. Pull the front part of the blade down to position it at an angle.

3

Pull back the lock pin on the center part of the wiper blade (where it connects to the wiper arm). This unlocks the blade from the wiper arm.

4

Grasp the blade on each side and pull it down (away from the extended wiper arm) to release it from the "U" clip.

5

Repeat the process for the other wiper blade, if desired. Removing the driver's side and passenger's side wiper blade is the same.

6

Install the new wiper blade. Open the lock pin on the new blade, and then insert it into the wiper arm "U" clip. Close the lock pin and lower the wiper blade to its normal position.

How to Replace Wiper Blades Guide (Typical):
Potential tools needed to replace wiper blades:

• Flat blade screwdriver (small)
• Small nosed pliers
• Latex or vinyl gloves
• Safety goggles

To replace wiper blades theactual action of replacing the blade is no big deal, it's the locationof the blade down below the hood that can make it difficult though.Sometimes it helps to open the hood to gain access to the wiper blades.Other times it is helpful if the wiper blade is somewhere in the motionline of wiper action. The trick is to get the wiper to stop somewherein the wiper arc. Turn the wipers to the on position and allow thewipers to start, and then shut the key off when the wiper has arrivedin a desirable position on the windshield. To replace your wiper bladesplease follow the step by step instruction below. Also, watch the How to replace wiper blades video below to gain additional information. The method in which the wiper blades are attached will vary slightly.

• Step 1: With the hood closed, turn the wiperson, when the wipers are in the middle of their arc turn the key to theoff position. (Note: if this can't be done because of wiper conditionand you want to avoid scratching the windshield please open your hoodto gain access)
• Step 2: Locate the mounting clips at the top pivot on the wiper blade
• Step 3: Release the clip and remove the wiper arm
• Step 4: Match the size of the old blade against the new blade to ensure proper fit and operation
• Step 5: Reinstall the new wiper blade and recheck wiper operation

Common Problems:

• Make sure the wiper blades are the same size as the original blades.
• When replacing wiper blades not getting the blade onthe mounting pin completely allowing the wiper arm to become dislodgedand possibly causing damage to the windshield.
• Using wiper blades after the blade has failed permanently damaging the windshield by craving scratches in the wiper arc.
• Wiper blade can create a chattering noise when theblade is not properly balanced allowing the blade to "flop" back andforth as the wiper direction changes.

I hope help you with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

wiper switch should have no effect....lift up on arms to confirm not stripped out at mount....you can take arms completely off,,,,turn on wipers let rotate for short,,,, turn off wipers let them come to park... then turn key off and mount arms back on in the right park position... see if corrects if not write back

Remove the wiper arms from the drive posts. Turn on your wipers with the engine running and shut the wipers off -- this will put the wiper drive posts in the park position.

Reinstall the wiper arms so the blades are about an inch above the bottom of the windshield.

turn the key on, then turn the wipers on. Time it just right to turn the car off when the wipers are all the way vertical on the windshield. Now you should be able to lift the wiper blades up.

As far as the wipers staying up this is a common problem with them. I have a 2002 that had the same problem. There is what they call call a park tab that tells the wipers where to park at when they are turned off. Technically the tab should be replaced however I got by with heating it up and bending it back into the shape it is suppose to be in. You have to remove the cowl below the windshield to get to the motor which is where it is located. I would say the skill level required for this repair is at least a 3 on a scale of 5 being most difficult

remove wiper arms at the shaft, right at the cowl. each will have a nut on them but it is covered by a piece of plastic that will snap up for access. take nuts off and remove wiper assembly. turn key on turn wipers on make sure shafts turn when on, then turn off the shafts to stop in park position. then reinstall wiper assemblies in their park position .
