Default Wipers won't park
I have a 99 C5 convertible and my wipers will not dock. It started a while ago, but after sitting undocked for a while they would just park on their own. Now they will not park, evan after a week. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Any ideas on the root cause and how to fix.

I'm not sure, but I think it;s the wiper motor.
My wifes Jeep also has this problem.
I think that there is a switch in, or on the motor.

Circuit board failed on top of wiper motor. You can buy it seperate,most of the time they get water in them.When you change it be sure to seal to the body with silicone very well.
