Wipers don't return when turned off - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My wipers stop wherever they are when I turn them off, rather than returning to the bottom of the windshield. I have to wait until just the right moment to hit the switch off so they will stop where they should. I have replaced the switch but that didn't help. Any help? Thanks

Sounds like there are some electrical gremlins in your truck . I would check all of the grounds , disconnect and reconnect the bulkhead connector , and check all fusible links . I would also combine all three of your threads since trying to diagnose all three at one time might point to one thing .

The auto park feature built into your wiper motor is fried. replace the motor and all should be back to normal
