2006 kia wipper works but stops in the middle of the windshield

does the wiper arms move free if so the linkage assembly has come apart you have to take the plastic part under the windshield off along with the wipers arms to have access to the linkagage ,if the arms ar hard to move possible motor damaged or fuse burnt do basic first check fuses then do the process of elimination ,motor ,linkage good luck

Hi,
Sounds like your wiper linkage have loosen up or the linkage from the motor arm got disconnected.
The solution would be to bring that car to your mechanic or dealer to have them reconnect the wiper linkage, a plastic clip lock might have broken and needs to be replace, the parts is less than $5.
Hope that solves your problem!
Thanks for using Fixya!

SOUND LIKE WIPER MOTOR LIMIT SWICH BAD.

There was a recall on the wiper circuit board cracking and causing the problems your having and at worst the wipers not working. For now you can pull the fuse to the wipers to save the wiper blades, but the problem is the circuit board where the wire harness clips on to the wiper motor cracks and will need to be re-soldered. You can check with the dealer to see if your wiper motor is still covered with the campaign a few years ago, if not you can buy the replacement circuit board at most larger auto parts store like Auto Zone and they can give you the step by step instructions to get the job done. A light tap to the electric motor where the wire harness will also fix this problem, but it really needs to be re-soldered or replaced. Good luck

Check your wiper fuse or bad wiper motor .

The wiper motor has a park mode built in. It's one of two possible problems. The park mode is bad and the motor needs to be replaced. Usually this can be identified by the wipers stopping all over the place.
The second is that the linkage off of the motor has moved, and it will park in the same spot all of the time. Here you need to release the motor to linkage nut, and move the arms to where they should be, and retighten.

o yeah take back to dealership where they will fix it for free

Either the pump is bad, or the nozzles are clogged.
