    My wipers would cam over and lock up, then I would have to remove the arms and turn the wiper motor back on for the linkage to reposition. Reinstall the arms, they would work for a little bit then cam over again and lock up. I took a chance and cut the arm drive that conects the motor to the linkage in half with a hack saw and rewelded the arm drive back together shorting it slightly, taking a small amount of throw out of the arms circular motion. Solved the problem. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem. I have seen other theads of people with this problem and nobody seemed to have a solution. Shorting the arm drive referance service manual sec. H-150 p. 219 piece #11 has solved this problem for me. Hope this helps others. I had to think about this one for a while before I could bring myself to modify this piece.

    I don't have that problem due vacuum motors (individual each side) :D but it's good info for others. Think they will appreciate you posting.
