How to Stop the Wiper in the Middle?
2 Answers
To stop the wiper in the middle, follow these steps: 1. First, power on the car and activate the wiper function, setting the wiper to any gear. 2. Observe the wiper, and when it reaches the desired position, turn the key to the OFF position. This will stop the wiper in the middle of the windshield. The wiper is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view, thereby improving visibility and enhancing driving safety.
Last time I washed my car and wanted to clean the wiper blades, I specifically researched this issue. Actually, the operation varies for different car models. For older cars, you can try turning off the ignition quickly when the wiper reaches the middle of the windshield. However, newer models generally have a maintenance mode, which is much simpler: first turn the ignition switch to the power-on position without starting the engine, then immediately push the wiper lever down to the single wipe position and release it. At this point, the wiper will automatically lift to the middle position and stop. I drive a German car and am used to finding the windshield service mode option in the settings, while most Japanese cars use a combination of lever buttons. Never force the wiper blades, as it can damage the linkage rod. This technique is especially useful when replacing the rubber strips.
