Try a ground wire to the wiper motor case.

I have exactly the same problem, it started about a week after having the widshield replaced. I just leave them on auto and the wiper blades go to the horizontal position but not to the correct off position. Rememember to switch them off before entering a car wash!!!

Perhaps the wiper-linkage is misplaced or broken.

Wiper in the middle
I dont think it can be the linkage, because when the rain sensor detects rain they work normal,they just stop in the middle of the windshield when the wiper switch is turned to the off position.
When the switch is turned to the off position the wiperblades go to the correct park position, they stay there for about 2 seconds then they start to wipe, and stop in the midle of the windshield on the first return stroke.

Re: Winshield wiper stop in the middle
try attaching a ground wire from the battery neg to the wiper motor case. Some cars loose the park signal when the case ground is unhooked or rusted.

The wiper park switch is under the cover on the wiper motor. When you shut off the wipers it is supposed to power the motor untill the wipers reach the bottom of the wiper stroke, and depress to park. You might have a bad switch or the linkage in the motor is jamming the switch in the open position. Three little screws will take the cover off.

Re: Winshield wiper stop in the middle
Listen to Jed Rule! He is right the park switch is part of the wiper motor cover which controls all functions of the wipers.
