wiper not finding home..
Hopefully someone can help....my wipers work fine but never go back to home when turned off. They just stay where they are when the switch is turned off. Also, the intermittant doesn't work correctly....they start but only move about 20 degrees and stop, never returning to the home position. I've tried replacing the motor and the switch (used parts on ebay) but still have the same problem. I thought for sure it was a bad motor but now I'm starting to think its a wiring problem. Does anyone have any ideas or ever heard of this problem?

Mine has the same problem, I just took it apart and resoldered all the relays and stuff. There is a write up on here somewhere just search for it. It worked for about three months until my car was down for about 3 weeks and just sat there. Now its doing the same thing again.

sounds like a bad motor, but its possible that the switch could be bad as well. It is very very very rare to have the wiring bad if the plugs are in good condition (as in not disolved).
Ebay wiper switches are almost always bad. Of the half dozen or so that I have bought off of ebay for rebuilding, about 75% of them were bad, and needed parts replaced internally.
I rebuild the switches and also have the relays available to rebuild the wiper switches if you want to do it yourself. Pm or email me if you need info.
