My wipers work at all settings and the washers also work. The issue is when they are on any intermentent setting and come down to the bottom of the window they go down below the glass and then come back up and stop at the bottom of the windshield before going into the next cycle. Also when the wipers are on low or high speed they also go down below the bottom of the glass but do not hesitate before going back up, then when the wipers are turned off they go down below the glass and then back up to the bottom of the windshield and stop. Whats up???

Are they at any point parking on the windshield?

Sounds like a problem with the control module on top of the motor. They are usually sold with the motor themselves.

When the wipers are off they do park (stop) on the windshield at the bottom. This parking point is at a higher point then when the wipers are running and going below the bottom of the windshield.

Okay, just wanted to be sure I was understanding.

I can probably dig up a flow chart if you want, but have yet to have it be anything else....not to say I am always right or have experienced everything..
