Windshield Wiper Woes
Had the same problems with mine, checked the motor--it was fine. There are 2 relays in the power dist box under the hood (relay box). These BOTH have to be changed, swap them with 2 of the others-----problem solved

Thank you Gone Fishin
You know what's sad? A few guys on a Dodge forum did a little research and fixed a known issue that Chrysler's own dealers don't have a clue!!!!

I agree it should..but it dosent. The TSB was to replace some module which they allegedly did.....

Anyone have theirs just go for no reason? Mine are all jacked up and even had it in under warranty a couple times and their solution was to change the multi stick but that didn't fix the issue. Now I just live with it.
Guys,
The relays set up the full time low and high speed, they also setup the delay. If you look closley at the wiring diagrams, the normally closed side of the relays sets up the "park" condition signal to the computer to tell the relays to both open the connection. It is the N/C condition that is lost, which is why they don't stop when they should, or "run for no reason" when they're turned off. Took me a while to figure it out---and yes I had the whole front cowl off and checked out the wiper motor and the "sweep" box that connected to the motor. More often than not----its the relays screwing up the signal to the computer
