do the window wipers have a relay to control the sweep? mine do a proper sweep then stop half way across the window..........

Yes, the wiper relay should do it, but I think, iirc, that there's microswitches in the wiper motor.

The park position for the wipers is controlled by the relay.

Is the relay underneath the steering wheel?

To save you looking , the wiper parking position is controlled, as per Alcazar's post, by contacts/switch in the motor unit.

No relay involved.

It isn't a stand alone relay, it's pcb mounted. The pcb is internally mounted in the switch housing.
Considering you have changed the motor assembly it has to be a fault in the switch, the relay may be sticking and releasing the contacts to slow or the contacts may be pitted etc. Either way it's not a matter of swapping a relay. you have to fit the full switch assembly.
