Went on a journey in heavy rain last week. Without warning the wipers stopped for a couple of seconds and then continued working fine. When I finished my journey and turned the wipers off, the wiper blades finished in the middle of screen. Now everytime I use the wipers they do not return to park position when they are switched off. Any idea what could cause this problem and how to fix it?

Possible loose connection or bad ground draws too much current when running against hard force. Check wiring and grounds.

Could be the power steering pump is bad.

Sounds like the wiper motor is going out it just does it when it warms up

The wiper motor is defective and needs to be replaced. Inside the wiper motor is a "Park Switch". When you turn the wipers off, the park switch sends a signal to shut the wipers off. If the park switch fails to operate then the wipers will continue to run, unless the ignition key is turned off. You will also need to inspect and test the charging system. Where you had no issue before the rain, you may only need to charge the battery. After the battery is charged it should be load tested, to be sure that it is fine. Also test the alternator and make sure that it is charging correctly (@14volts). If you need more information please write back. Good luck.

possible short in switch if it operates wipers and lites

My 98 suburban did the same thing (has intermittent wipers I assume) I had to replace the wiper motor. AutoZone had a rebuilt one for $50. ($279 at dealer for a new one)

wiper transmission likely came a part in dash rove all covers evaluate what came a part either reconnect or replace item

Most likely this is caused by something binding or water getting inside the motor,either way it is tripping the thermal overload inside the wiper motor.

I have a Range Rover 2006 and suddenly under heavy rain the wipers atrat going very fast and quit working, I change the speed and work again but after a minute the wipers quit. And I can not find the problem . Somebody can help me?
