The wipers go about 1/3 of the way up on the windshield and then they stop and they will not go back down.
Do you know anything about automotive electronics ?
FRONT WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
The windshield wipers can be operated with the windshield wiper switch when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCESSORY positions. The wiper/washer switch is integral to the multi-function switch. It is a resistive MUX switch that sends inputs to the Steering Control Module (SCCM) then across the LIN bus to the Cabin Control Node (CCN) and from the (CCN) across the CAN Interior High Speed bus (CAN I-HS) to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) to operate the wiper/washer system.
FRONT WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
The wiper motor has permanent magnetic fields. The speeds are determined by current flow to the appropriate set of brushes inside the motor. The current flow is controlled by the multi-function switch. The high speed/low speed relays are located in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and cannot be serviced separately. The speed sensitive intermittent wiper is controlled by the TIPM. When in the intermittent mode, and the vehicle traveling greater than 10 mph, the delay between wipes will range from 1 to 18 seconds. With the vehicle traveling less than 10 mph, the time delay doubles to a delay range of 2 to 36 seconds. The wiper arms will park at the base of the windshield just above the cowl cover after the wiper switch is turned OFF. The washer pump for the front washer system is shared with the rear washer system by the use of a reversible washer pump motor. The windshield wiper motor and linkage is located in an integral wiper unit at the rear of the engine compartment. The wiper unit must be removed to gain access to the wiper motor.

99% chance it is the blower resister located behind glove box. Squeeze glove box in and pull out.
The resistor is right behind it, dealer part cost less then $20.
Dodge has had this problem for over ten years and until recently did nothing. Now they combine fuse with resistor, suppose that will correct it?
SOURCE: front wipers stopped working but you can hear the motor run also
If the wipers were buried under snow/ice or frozen to the windshield, you may have blown the red 10 amp fuse located in cavity 9 in the fuse block located on the bottom left side of the instrument panel near the parking brake pedal.
In order of easiest to check:
1) ensure wipers not frozen to windshield.
2) ensure wiper arms are not loose on the pivot stud,
3) check the red 10 amp fuse.
You stated that "you can hear the motor". Which motor do you hear? The engine or the wiper motor?
If you hear the wiper motor, then the fuse is alright. Try 1) and 2) above.

SOURCE: How do you adjust the windshield wiper arms on a
There are no adjustments on the wipers. The arms come off to realign. Pop the wiper arm cap off with a very small flathead screwdriver theres a liitle opening slot to do this. Remove the nut. Pull wiper off straight, use pulley if needed. If the tenson is gone in the wiper arm replace. The springs go bad in the rear arm from dirt.

the linkage could have come off the motor itself there is a locking clip that sometimes breaks and allows the linkage to come off.you would have to remove the under hood cover to gain access to the motor along with the removing the wiper arms to remove the assembly so you can work on it there is the washer hose that will have to be removed also.
SOURCE: how to remove front rotors on 2008 dodge grand
You will need a big C clamp and a 21 mm socket.
Remove the wheel.
Use the C clamp to compress the front brake piston:
Just put the screw side of the c clamp on the outside brake pad and the frame part of the c clamp on the back of the caliper and turn the c clamp in until it won't compress further. You don't have to over-do it. Don't force it and don't do this with the back brakes...they require a tool that rotates the piston as it compresses... Hint: rent it from auto zone for free.
Once the piston is compressed, use the 21mm socket to remove the two caliper bolts and then tie up the caliper so it doesn't hang down in the way and stress the brake lines.
Then you need to bang on the rotor with a mallet until you free it and it will come off.
You may need to hammer it pretty hard.
That's it.
Assemble in reverse.
