Going through pre flight check on the 1981 I am finishing up and found that the wipers do not park.......So I thought it could be a ground. The motor grounds to the cover with a sheet metal screw to a tab on the inside.

Long story short, the whole motor and windshield hinge is HOT.......WTF?

I have looked and looked and searched with no help.

Ideas?

Hi Shane,
Try jumping a wire from the wiper motor case to the neg battery terminal.

If that works OK, you have lost ground through the windshield frame.

Are the bolts through the dash pad to the windshield frame clean and tight?

The only diagram I found was for a 78 (in tech), but it shows the wipers ground at the motor.
 
I read that post yesterday. I have the later style and they were working fine when removed.....So I am thinking electrical still....
