Default Windshield wiper problem

1995 LT1. My wipers work fine, except for the Delay mode. When 'delaying' they park right in the middle of my windshield and it's annoying.

Turn them off, and they park by the hood correctly.

Any ideas (other than not driving in the rain)?

I am not going to have the answer your looking for but I am curious. Do your wipers still work on delay and they park in the middle or do they park in the middle and not work on delay at all? The reason I ask this is because my wipers work on low and high but when I put them on delay they will freeze where ever they are and not move from there until I change the setting.

My delay still works correctly and can be varied, but the wipers just park right in the middle of the windshield until the next 'go' cycle starts. Turn the wipers off, and they park where they belong.

I was looking thru my FSM for a problem I'm having, and just by chance I noticed a chart on wiper motors. It was showing a "park" switch inside the wiper motor. My manual is for a 89, so I do not know if yours would have this?

Joel - I noticed the same in my FSM, but could not determine if the park switch controlled both the Delay Mode parking and Off Mode parking. On mine, the wipers are parking correctly when Off, but not when Delaying.

Anyone know what controls the position of Parking when in delay mode?
