Why do my windshield wipers only work on high speed and when turning them off they stop where ever they happen to be, not going all the way down?
What do I check, how & what parts will I need to repair?

Could be the motor wiper or the wiper control module first unplug electrical conector at the wiper motor, clean both the elect. connector and the motor connections as well, if this dont fix the problem you will have to change your wiper control module.
Having windshield wiper/washer problems? Here are some more common problems.
- Motor:
The wiper motor is commonly replaced and was often not the problem. Don't replace the motor yet. maybe it's not the motor. It could be a fuse or something at the wiper switch. The wiper motor has two windings, fast and slow. The wiper switch sends a ground signal to each motor winding. More often, there are problems with the relay, or at the wiper switch, or in the cable to the motor.- Windshield Washer:
Don't be too quick to replace the washer pump. The problem is often just a clog in the sprayer heads. You can clean out the sprayer holes with a needle, some have two holes, so look closely. Hope this helps.Either the switch or the motor is fried.
