Question [B]Wipers[/B]

The wipers on my 89 Ranger only run on high and they do not return to the bottom of the window when they are off. They just stop wherever they are at.

Anyone esle seen this?

They don't turn themselves on.
I did a search and I found one other person with my exact problem but no solution was presented.

Sounds like a bad relay in the system. I'm not sure on your 89, but there should be a power distribution box under the hood, probably on the drivers side close to the master cylinder. Check to see if there is a relay for the wipers there.
