Each motor has a 3 pin plug (gnd, 12V constant, and 12V switched with wash) I do not know why the passenger side parks at 45 degree, but if you cycle them again, it will (probably) park where it should. This is what I had to do with my '96 anyway. KeithG "Doney" <davedoneynopsamm.com> wrote in message news:tcfe6pg5aq7v19nopsam.supernews.com... > Mine do the same.
