HI, i have a fiat stilo 53 plate jtd. I have recently changed the arms in my wiper linkage kit as one had snapped, i managed to get it all off , put it back together the same way, However now the wiper blades go the opposite way from each other so dont work at all, anyone know what i did wrong?
I live in Scotland where it rains CONSTANTLY, so a speedy reply from anyone who knows how i can solve my problem would be appreciated, thanks. Mark.

If they go opposite way that means you have connected something in a wrong way and you need to reconect them. Undo everuthing and start again, might be the easiest way.
 
Any chance you stopped the motor when the wipers were in the up position but stuck the arms on thinking it was down if you know what I mean Or would getting the polarity of the power wires the wrong way round not reverse the way the electric motor spins?
 
just re-read my own thread, and changed it, the wipers are going in the opposite direction of each others,somehow. But, i will retry the whole thing again to ensure i havent done something the wrong way
 
I would expect the one nearest the motor to be going correctly, the furthest one to be going the wrong way.

The one that is going incorrectly is upside down. Where the link rod connects to the spindle arm, it should be up instead of down, or down instead of up. That should make sense as you've just had it all apart.
 
hi, thanks Portland Bill and GPz750, that sounds plausable, i will check tomorrow and if thats what it is let you guys know afterwards.
