Default Wipers don't work...

They work if you hold the switch, but stop immediately if you let off. Needless to say they don't 'park', but just stay where they were when you let off the switch.

Thoughts?

Does the switch latch down when you press it? Sounds like you need a new switch.

Change my vote. If the wipers don't park when you release the switch, it's either the switch or a loose wire at the switch. Could also be the front wiper relay.

What exactly do you mean by hold the switch and let off? You mean you turn them on and the switch doesn't latch in the on position, or you mean turn them on, nothing happens, and you hold the single wipe?

Does the washer motor work if you try to wash the windshield?

I had the same problem. It could be the switch but my problem was dirty terminals on the wiper motor return function. Sorry i dont know the technical term for this. It basically needs some cleaning. Hope this helps.
