Wipers go backward

So I was finally able to connect the battery to my newly restored 70 C10. I was ops checking some of the electrical since I re wired the entire truck using an American autowire updat kit. I had left my wiper arms off until I could make sure they were parked. Well when I turn them on they turn in the direction of moving the wiper down then come back and park. Is it possible I wired it backwards or maybe could I have put the control rods in wrong? Maybe the arm that connects the push rods to the motor? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Re: Wipers go backward

The arm that connects to the motor should be pointing toward the driver side when parked, and so should the other two arms. Here's a photo of the motor arm.

Yep that's it. My arm is facing the passenger side when parked. That should fix me up. Thanks!

So I checked and the arm was on wrong. Flipped it around and all is good now. Thanks!
