wiper gremlin
My wife is leaving for Idaho next Friday and the wipers park straight up. The local stealership told me that the cam in the wiper motor was the culprit, so I told them to order the part a week ago and it is still not here, and they said to expect it tues or wed. Does anyone know if this is the problem or could it be in the module. I would kill them if I install the part and it does not fix the problem!!!

If you toggle the switch on and off, can you get them to park at other spots, or is it always the same spot?
If it's always the same spot then I would say the dealership is right, the cam is tripping the park switch at the wrong time.
If the park location varies, then it may be the park switch itself has failed in the "parked" position. Or, the park portion of the module could have failed in the "parked" position.

Mine was acting flaky and it turned out my cam had been installed wrong OR had worked itself loose, I'd checkto make sure it's intalled correctly first. Here's how it should be installed;
If I recall correctly, put it in delay and when you see the motor stop at the "interwipe" position, turn the key off and place the cam in this position;
It's worth a try...
