windshield wipers

Very likely the "Park Switch" has failed. It is inside the wiper motor. The fix is to replace the wiper motor. The re-built part costs about $90.

Make, model, year.

I have similar problem. My wipers sometimes don't stop; sometimes don't return to the resting position when they are turned off (they stop right where they are); and intermittment has become odd, with no regular pattern of seconds between wipes but rather something like 3 wipes followed by a number of seconds before 3 more. Might this be the wiper motor? If so, is this located inside the steering column?

Since I can't do auto work myself, who would put in a rebuilt part for me, an independent mechanic? Can they order such parts or do I have to take it to him? What might labor be on a job such as this?

Richard,

Did you solve your problem? My 1997 Concord is doing the same thing.
