    Hi, I posted yesterday about my wipers and everyone was a lot of help. Today I replaced the wiper motor but when I shut them off they do not park where they should. They stay about half way up. 06 Limited

    Have you tried jiggling the switch? Sounds to me the the switch or motor is losing power before they go all the way back down.

    Do the wipers make a full sweep? Was the new-motor arm in the same position as the old one when you installed it? Can you take off a wiper and reposition it all the way down and still get a full sweep of the windshield?

    Might have to remove the wiper arms and reset them in the down location. Basically a reset position.
