Re: Wipers park in middle of windsheild
Sounds like the infamous bent tab... Have a look at this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t405571.html.

Re: Wipers park in middle of windsheild
this is the first time it has ever happened to my intrigue...but i tried them again a few hours later and they started working normal again...Chances are if the problem happens once it will come back sooner or later. Thanks for the post

Re: Wipers park in middle of windsheild
Hmm, I don't think it's a bent tab then...the problem wouldn't just go away like that. But an electrical problem would. Maybe a bad park switch... Just cross your fingers and hope it was a one-time thing!

Re: Wipers park in middle of windsheild
I had the same thing happen last year when there was a lot of snow on the windshield. The next morning when I started it up, the wipers went back to the normal park position. Haven't had it happen since.

Re: Wipers park in middle of windsheild
I remember reading somewhere water/moisture may get into the wiper motor and freeze causing the wipers to not return to the proper position. I had this happen when I lived in NY one winter. After a day they went back to normal. It is something that appears to be cold related at the least though.

Re: Wipers park in middle of windsheild
I know the wiper blades stuck up has been detailed on these forums before. I just want to add my own version of the repair. I fixed an Oldsmobile Intrigue with the wiper stuck up problem. I have included pictures and video. Here's how I did it:
