I am having trouble getting the Wipers working on my 87 Camaro. Can someone help with the aligning of the wiper cover that contains washer pump. I have tried a few times and get no travel in the wipers. Is there a trick to this. thanks

 

You may have to rephrase the question a bit and be more specific.

Good luck.

 

Sorry, I am new to this. I have removed the black cover of the wiper motor to check the washer pump. When i re installed it i have lost the wiper function. I only get about 2 inches of travel which i think is the hide away function. In Chiltons it says that I have to align the cam in the cover with the screw hole. I have tried this a number of ways and cant get the wipers to function. i am starting to think that the problem is in the control stalk as i only get the wipers to move on Hi setting. thanks for the reply.

 

I have the same exact problem. My 87 camaro wipers were working fine, but my washer wasn't. I purchased a washer from Discount Auto for $18, reassembled, then my wipers would only move a limited distance. Smoke appeared and I found that the plastic wheel rod in the assembly had broken off. Now my wipers don't work eitherand I am not getting juice in the wiper assembly, and the car is at the mechanics since yesterday. As I sweat out the awaiting final bill, I can't believe that a simple washer repair has turned into this major disaster. Let me know if you have any good news.

 

Electrical mechanic took care of my wiper problem by replacing the wiper cover assembly that attaches to the wiper motor and contains the intermittent circuit board. The piece can only be purchased from GM and costs $90, but is very sensitive when installing. Thats why I burned the first one. Everythinh works now, $200 later with labor.
