Wipers work fine, however, when turned off, they won't park. They stay wherever they are. Is there a fix for this (other than dealer)?

Should this be in the electrics section?

Presuming you're referring to the front windshield wipers, and not the rear hatch wiper, it probably is an electrical problem. Could be a defect in the wiper switch (e.g., bad contact or defective internal printed circuit board], or a faulty internal position switch in the wiper motor assembly itself. These are normally not repairable parts. Or it could be a broken wire, although this is less likely unless work was done (mechanical, body) that could have disturbed/damaged wiper-related wiring.

I've attached the 2007 front wiper wiring diagram.
