You see, when you shut them off instead of going to their normal off position the wipers go all the way up and stop there . I was wondering (and hoping) that someone here has the solution to this problem.
Thanks,

When My 97 did that, chevy had to replace the "transmission" (they called it ) for the wipers. I had hoped that it could be reset or something, but no go. Cost about 200.00. Now that's only what happened to me. Maybe someone else might have a better reply. Good Luck!

I had the same problem. Wipers worked but would not park when you turned them off. They stopped in the middle of the window. If you remove the wiper motor and look on the bottom there are 3 metal stop tabs. One or more of them is bent. You just need to straighten them out.
