>>>There is a cam inside the wiper motor/gearbox which is supposed to break 
contact and stop the wipers at a certain point, after power is removed.   On

both my Cobra and Pantera (which use the same system), this feature stopped 
working, so the wipers stop almost as soon as you turn the switch off.
It's a 
struggle to time it just right, because they still move a little bit when
power 
is removed.   So you have to hold your tongue just right, and turn the
switch 
off JUST before they get to the parked position.

If you find out how to fix it let me know!

****My car did that for a while, but I discovered that one of the wires had
falled off the switch. Reconnecting the wire returned the "park" feature to
the system.
