This
one was on a mid 70’s dodge truck, fighting with it last month, why I jumped
in. . On those, unbelievably, the plug will fit on the dash wiper switch in a
wrong position , off one contact , just fine. Finding that was a night mare, as
everything was not right, nor testing right with the light. . As you say the
parking can be by grounding or powering and may change with years etc. As
stated, I have never worked specifically on an E, but the operating idea is
that same. He seemed to think the dash switch was the problem, trying to get
out of that way of looking at it .....unless his plug is on wrong too.. With
a light and diagram they can all be figured out. Ray,
do I know you from eons ago in Jacksonville AFB area ? with red Hemi Cuda? john From: Ray Jones
[mailto:1970hurst@xxxxxxxxx] I think that's
backwards unless it's wired differently from most. About 350° of the
contacts on the switch inside the motor have power as long as the ignition
switch is on. The other 10° is
powered by the wiper switch. It also supplies power to the other segments when
turned on. When that little
segment is powered, the motor starts to turn and continues to pick up power
from the rest of the contact circle. When
you turn it off, the power is removed from the small segment and when the motor
sweep gets to that segment, it stops/parks. Sounds like you do
not have the power to the 350° segments except when on and so it will not
park when turned off, just stops wherever. Easy
to trace with a test light. Ray On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 1:14 PM, John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

likely it is the park switch cam switch inside the motor not making contact
anymore, can probably be fixed by disassembly by someone like JC . I
doubt it is the dash switch, but could be that or the park wire itself . Those
latter things do not just up and fail, in general, but park switches in
the motor do....by wearing out. I do not know E specifically but other
MOPARS doing that . An
experienced auto electrician using E manual (print of wiper wiring setup) can
jump the switch at the motor first with dash switch in off position ; if it
parks, / moves then it is the internal switch. Maybe you can find whole motor
somewhere... Park
switch supplies power to motor when turned off, via P ark wire from
switch on dash ( can get complicated at switch as it has to go to slow speed
too) ; then motor runs through that park switch alone, until a cam opens
it up when blades are full down, stopping it in park. If it wears , it might
not connect , so motor just sits there . Of course if wire is broken or dash
switch, same thing but much less likely . my
.02, hope it helps... john From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Last fall when I put the E away, I noticed
that the windshield wiper "return" did not work. Is this due to
corrosion that might be corrected by spraying some compound onto the
switch? Any other suggestions are welcome. Regards, Al Vannice From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here's a trivia question for a C. The oil filler cap on my C is one of those
that has "OIL" stamped on it right-side-up and upside-down. The word
is actually stamped from the underside so it stands proud of the surface. In my
recollection this is the correct and original cap for the car. If
you don't do something dumb, you may never need a new one. But I did and I do,
and I want to get the proper one to replace it. Can others of you let me know
whether this is the right cap or not? Thanks. Keith
