Hi, I went through a car wash and had my auto wipers on (yeah, dumb, I know). Anyway, now my wipers only work on high and will not park on their own. Any ideas if it's the motor, switch, etc?

Are they bent that you can see? If not, try to just push them back down and see how they sit. If they won't push back down, turn them on, wait till they're at their tallest, then cut the key to keep them stuck sticking up. Then give them a firm push downward about as much as they're off. If you're lucky, the motor just jumped ahead when it was fighting the jets. You can jump it back. If you're unlucky, you bend a wiper arm but if that happens you already bent it anyway so you're not losing anything.

You can get new wiper arms on Ebay, btw. Also, don't get aftermarket wiper blades if you go to Lexus to get your service done. They won't replace the blades unless they're "Genuine Lexus" blades.
