My wiper blades won't go down when I shut them off. They stop straight up on the window. What should I try?

if your wiper blades are sticking straight up when you shut them off, then check your wiper blade arms where they pivot there at the base of the windshield, make sure theyre not hanging up or anything. if theyre fine then check your wiper motor to make sure its not wearing out.

The park switch logic is in the wipre motor itself. You probably need to replace the pulse control circuit board in the wipre motor. They are not that expensive from advanced parts.

Check the wiper arms at the windshield pivots for binding. If they move freely, replace the pulse control circuit board in the wiper motor, which contains the park switch logic.
