Bob, do they stop in the same position every time ?  Or just at random,
right after you turn the switch off ?

The second case means your park switch is not working, which may be a
problem with the switch itself (inside the wiper motor) or the wiring to it.
According to Dan Master's TR6 schematic, there is a separate green wire to
the motor that is used only for the park function, so if it's disconnected,
the wipers won't park.
