I am having a problem with a Vanagon front wiper motor.  Basically the
problem is this:
You pull back the arm on the steering collum and you get the normal spray of
water from the windshield washer and the wipers start up.  They wipe a few
times and then stop.  Normal right?  Except they stop anywhere they feel like
it instead of going back to the "park" position where they normally are.  The
same thing happens when you use the wipers normally.  When you turn them off
they stop where ever you flip the switch.  You have to turn them back on
until they come back to the "park" position and then shut them off them to
get them to return.

I have tried so far:
new switch on the collum
new motor
known good wiper relay

None of these things have helped at all.  I believe there is a switch that
tells the system when the wipers are back in the "park" position but I have
no idea where it is.  Anyone ever battle this problem?  What was your
solution?

Thanks,
