2000 4-runner. With the wipers on intermittent the wipers don't go to the full off position and stay there- they come back up a little bit. In other words, they make a full cycle and instead of going to the bottom of the windshield and staying until the next cycle, they come back up a little. Doesn't do it all the time, but more often than not. I can also turn the wipers off in the middle of a cycle and the wipers will stop- even if they're pointing straight up and down- instead of returning to the bottom of the windshield as they should.

Thanks in advance.

Practically everything associated with wiper movement is in the motor. You probably need to replace the motor if you can't live with its lack of function.

OK. I was thinking that the motor might be controlled by a time delay relay or something for intermittent operation.

I am basing my above statement on the method for troubleshooting wiper problems as outlined in your service manual. I may be missing something so it would be wise to read it also and double check my logic.
