cycle motor to off then wiper to off spot should in place. may have move wiper to line it up.. some times you need to remove wipers rotate motor to off and install wipers blades

Sounds like you damaged the gear drive that operates the wiper arms, time for new wiper motor assembly is my guess. Don't use the wipers to brush off snow, very bad idea, the drive gears are plastic and on this old dog very brittle from age.

Try to shut off the key when wipers are at the bottom or the park position. Then unplug the wiper motor wire for a day or so after driving car. With the car off plug them back in fi they still run all the time you need to replace the wiper motor.

The windshield wiper circuit has an circuit breaker in it, under heavy load this breaker trips to protect the wiper motor, when the motor cools, the breaker resets automatically restoring proper wiper action.

Under the windshield cowling. You only need to remove the driver's side wiper arm and half of the cowling. It's probably the simplest wiper motor on the planet to change. Just take your time. I hope I've helped. If so please rate my assistance and leave a comment to help others in a similar situation. I did address this in more detail quite some time ago. If you research my previous answers you should be able to locate it without much difficulty. Thank you and happy holidays.

if you turn the key on then the wiper switch on,see if you can hear the wiper motor running,you may just need to re tighten the wiper arms,

Remove the wiper arms from the drive posts. Turn on your wipers with the engine running and shut the wipers off -- this will put the wiper drive posts in the park position.

Reinstall the wiper arms so the blades are about an inch above the bottom of the windshield.

They shouldn't - they only work when you do a wash/wipe.

sounds like a wiper switch is wore out and needes replacing.
