I'm trying to figure out why my windshield wipers will not return to home position/dock. They're stuck in the middled of my windshield and will not go down. After doing a few searches I determined that it might be my wiper motor.
I checked my codes and I've listed all of them below. Can anyone help me out with these codes?
open your hood and check the 2 bolts that sit on top "in the corner by the driver side firewall, mine did the same thing and the 2 bolts were loose, once i tighten the 2 nuts, wipers worked fine again.
That's the link I needed. I took my battery out to have it load tested last night. It checked out fine. The codes where generated when I removed the battery.

Are these ground bolts for the wipers? I'll check it out when I get home.
It rained hard here the day the wipers started freakin out. Actually it's been raining hard here almost everyday for a month. I checked the drains/utters and they where clogged with leaves and junk. This a typical problem other forum members had experienced when the utters where clogged. The water can't drain fast enough through the utters so it rises up and eventually gets on the motor. I guess it shorts the motor out. The wipers still work, but they won't go back to home position when turned off.
