Wipers stop in odd places

When I shut my wipers off they stop in odd places.. If I do this a few times I can get them to finally stop at the bottom where they should be..

Any idea what this would be?

most likely the park switch in the wiper motor is bad. I see a new wiper motor in your future.

There was a thread last week about this.
It said something about cleaning the contacts on the wiper motor plug..
My wipers don't park either.. But I don't know where the contacts are to try it.

The contacts are on the motor which is under the grill at the base of the windshield.

Alright, I had to use the wipers today and it has been fine once they ran for awile..

If it does it again I will pull it off for an inspection...

Thanks for the info..
