2025 Hybrid: Wipers wont give full sweep

[Britcardriver]

LyI left my truck sit for a week. When I returned, the windshield wipers would only sweep 1/2 of their normal travel.

Is there a way to reset the wiper travel or do I need to take to my ford dealer that I am very disgruntled by?

Bruce,
Here is the normal sweep pattern of a Mavericks windshield wiper.
How much different was yours?

With truck off, you can try to gently manually move it, start with a little shake back and forth by the pivot point on the solid part until it seems to give, then rotate it all the way up as in picture.
Then down to park position so right wiper is just below the black area.
Then push button On without brake pressed, then do wiper swipe with a push down on stalk.
It may reset to calibrated location if that was the issue.

If it wasn't the issue - to the dealer.

HeyBales, thank you for your input. I did try your suggested method and gto up to a 2/3rd of normal coverage area sweep, but passenger side wiper would still drop under the bonnet too far and jam against the vinyl windshield surround.

I stopped by and saw my mechanic who lowered my AWD Lariat while on vacation, and asked him if he had any thoughts. “ S++t”, he said, “I need to reclock the wipers”

evidently you have to remove the windshield bottom sill to access the front shock towers when he replaced the springs on the struts.

a lesson learned.

thanks guys for your replies.
