The wiper motor assembly includes a "Park" sensor.

The sensor shuts off the wiper motor when two conditions are met:

  • The wiper switch is in the off position
  • The wiper blades are in the park location

If the park sensor is either damaged or dirty, the wipers will keep running.

If you are at all mechanically inclined, try opening the wiper motor assembly and see if you can clean the slide contacts that make up the sensor.

If that isn't helpful, replace the assembly.

Why is it when you shut off your wipers it stops in the middle of the windshield?

When you turn off your windshield wipers, they stop in their parked position, which is typically designed to be at the bottom of the windshield. However, if they stop in the middle, it may indicate a malfunction in the wiper motor or control system. Additionally, if the wipers are turned off while they are in motion, they can sometimes come to rest in an unintended position due to inertia or a failure in the stop mechanism. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues.
