Anyone know what could cause the windshield wipers to stop working in mid stroke... I have an ES300 2002. When the wipers are set on the first or second setting they will wipe a few times and then just stop in the middle of the windshield... I have to turn it to the fastest setting for it to continually move without getting stuck in the middle of the windshield. Also If I turn them off and they are in a location other then the 'home' position they will just stop right there, where as they used to finish out that swipe and return to the home position regardless of what moment I switched them off... Is there a motor problem I need to look at or something to spray with lubricant or such???

So I am guessing it is the wiper switch or wiper motor... is there any way to check either of those out? where are they located?

Thanks so much

My best guess would be the switch.
