Default '02 Wiper problems

Any ideas?

Wipers only work full speed and won't park. I have to shut them off at the bottom, and that only puts them 3 inches from park.

The problem started with them jumping in and out of park (about 3 inches) on their own and finally, after a few days, settled in their current state.

I do have an extended warranty, so hopefully they are covered.

TIA

Do a search. There has been many discussions on wiper problems. Mine resulted in the udders being clogged up with debris and filling up with water. I hope this helps.

The wiper control module is on the BOTTOM of the assembly and if the drains (utters) for the well that it sits in get clogged, that will happen!

Check the udders and let the system dry out.

Checked them... cleaned and dry. Probably the motor.

Thanks!
