Wiper malfunction

I need some advice on a problem that I am having with my wipers.

Originally it started when my wipers were refusing to park in the correct "down" position when I turned them off. When I turned off the wipers, they would park at a position about 1/3 of the way back on a return stroke. I could get them to stop in the correct postition if I turned off the car in mid-stroke when the wipers were at the lowest point in their cycle.

I replaced the wiper motor but that only slightly changed the behavior of the wipers, it didn't actually fix the problem.

Now that the motor has been replaced, when I turn off my wipers, they rest in the "down" position, but don't do that last little pull down under the lip of the hood. Also if I am using the intermittent wipers, instead of resting at the down position, they rest at that same weird spot in mid-stroke in the middle of my view.

Any idea what I can do to actually fix my problem? Some people have said that the relay likely needs to be replaced in my steering column.
