Default 1994 taurus gl

I have a problem with the wipers. they stop midway up when turned off. I have been told that it is either the wiper control module or the wiper motor. 2 questions: Which one would it be, and where would I find the control module if that is the problem. Have already replace the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. mikelauzonbarr@yahoo.com

Usually, I said USUALLY, it is the wiper motor that is the cause of that problem. It actually needs to be diagnosed to be sure, but if you are a gambler-----------

I agree with way2old. There are wiper fingers in the drive section that wear from rubbing on the printed circuit and sometimes break preventing the wiper motor from going to the park position and the usual remedy is to replace the wiper motor.
