    Hello all, long time listener, first time caller.

    I've an '01 L200 with approx 63k miles on it, and I've run into my first
    electrical frustration. A week ago, my windshield wipers started getting
    stuck when turned on to the lowest setting. Where they got stuck at first
    was seemingly random, but now they've settled into getting stuck at the 12
    o'clock position.

    In other words, the wipers start in that position, and after completing one
    wipe, get stuck again at 12 o'clock where they should return all the way
    down to 3 o'clock.

    In either of the faster settings, the wipers complete full cycles with no
    problems/sticking. And also, if I depress downwards for a manual cycle, the
    wipers return to the "stuck" position.

    I'm guessing this is just a relay problem, but haven't had a chance to tear
    apart the dash yet. Is this the likely culprit? No other electrical
    problems to speak of.

    Thanks in advance,
    Ben

    fyi, this is some sort of electrical problem, yet to be determined exactly.
