The wipers would stop straight up, like goal posts when you would turn them off. It is beacuse the wiper motor rest cam gets full of dirt and sticks. Here's the solution. Buy a can of lubricating spray and a can of aerosol grease. I already had some, so it didn't cost me anything. Remove both windshield wiper arms and the cowlings under them. Remove the cover off of the wiper motor cam assembly, located on the drivers side under the cowling. Tuck some shop rags around the wiper motor so they won't interfere with the linkage (turn on the wipers first to get an idea of where they move to.) Have someone turn on and off the wipers while you spray the cam thoroughly with lubricating spray. After awhile you will notice the cam behaving radically different when the wipers are turned off. Wipe off excess oil and recoat the assembly with spray grease. Replace the cover, cowls and wiper arms, you're done.
