    My wipers wont park. So when I run them for one cycle and turn them off, they stop wherever they happen to be on the glass. I replaced the whole wiper motor to see if it had just gone bonkers, but now the new motor does the same thing. Any advice?

    ok so suppose its time to update this post... its not something ive paid much attention to. I just got really good at turning the wipers off right when they park and their lowest point! :) anyway any other suggestions? Could it be the steering column tree (the actual wiper switch in the cab) ?? I already ruled out the motor and the relays.

    Also, what do the two relays control in the box under the hood? Blinkers and wipers? I swapped them to see if my wiper realy was bad but no luck, still parks half way up the glass. Please help. :)
