I noticed that my wiper blades don't seem to be parking right when turned "off" or on "int". They do go all the way down when turned to the regular on positions.

Is there a computer or module that controls the wipers that could be causing this? Or is this just where they stop?

I think what your describing is normal... They dont park like most other cars, where they come up, and then wipe.... Rather the "parking" position is the same as the position of the bottom of the wiping stroke....

Any ideas?

On the intermittent setting, my wipers "wait" at like a 45 degree angle. Is that normal?

Problem fixed!

Since there were no magic computer fixes to the wipers, I pulled the cowl and wiper motor for exploratory surgery. I would like to say, I've done wiper motors on lots of cars and the Q was great!

The wiper motor was fairly new, and the nut holding on the arms on was loose causing the wipers to lag behind a couple of inches of where they should be. Total cost $0!
