Default 02 es 300 wiper fight!!!!!

Auto position doesn’t work. Medium and High work fine but don’t go to home position.
Ive replaced the wiper switch at the column, the wiper motor and the wiper module, all with OE parts.
Ive taken the rain sensor off to check it but all seems ok. I’ve unplugged it with no results of intermittent wipers either.
They were inoperable when I got the car!
What the heck! Anyone fix this issue on their Lexus?

Do your Wipers CONSISTENTLY park about 3"-5" above their normal parking spot. If so, they may have been set to their winter position by the previous owner. To put them back in their normal position, just push them down parallel to the window. It may require a bit of force, but no harm will be done.

This is outlined in your owner's manual.

No they are level with the hood Phil.
Thanks for your input though!

Thank you fortitude!
It looks like great information! I will look it over and see what I can figure out. I will be sure to let everyone know if I find anything.!

After looking at that link fortitude, it seems possible it’s my harness. I say that because I swapped the motor and the switch. My question now is, is there any particular place where these harnesses go bad to cause my systems?
