You need to start by disconnecting the wiper arm assembly from the splines on the wiper motor itself. Then you need to jog the motor, once, through its cycle until it stops at its "park" position. Turn off the key switch. Then reconnect the wiper arm assembly to the motor when the wiper blades are in the proper position on the windshield. Turn key back on, and test run the wiper motor to make sure the blades aren't going off the edges and that there is no binding. Adjust as needed. Reinstall all previously removed covers and cowling.

How do I adjust wiper motor to linkage on a '01 Chevy Silverado I replaced the motor turned the wiper switch on then off then installed the blades but when I switch on the wipers turn counterclockwise?
A wiper motor cannot just be installed, you must also adjust the linkage. With the wiper motor in place and the linkage disconnected, turn the wiper motor ON briefly while you watch the motion of the motor shaft, then turn it off and let it seek it's natural "park" location. Now operate the wipers manually by moving the linkage, and before you connect the linkage to the motor, make sure the linkage is in the right position and will operate properly.

The wiper motor doesn't turn off until the wiper arm gets to the "park" location. If the wiper motor never detects park, the wipers will stay running.

Probably because the park switch in the motor is bust. This supplies the motor with electricity (after you switch off the wiper) until the wipers are parked (i.e. returned to off position).

The wiper motor assembly includes a "Park" sensor.The sensor shuts off the wiper motor when two conditions are met:The wiper switch is in the off positionThe wiper blades are in the park locationIf the park sensor is either damaged or dirty, the wipers will keep running.If you are at all mechanically inclined, try opening the wiper motor assembly and see if you can clean the slide contacts that make up the sensor.If that isn't helpful, replace the assembly.
Why don't the windshield wipers in a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis turn off?
Windshield wiper motors have an internal switch that allows a wiper motor to stay running long enough to keep the wipers moving until they reach the "park" position. Once the wiper gets to the park position, the wiper motor is shut off. The internal switch often fails and either the motor will shut off immediately, wherever it is or it will keep running. It sure seems that you need a new wiper motor.
In your 1992 Caravan rear windshield wiper is running all the time unless you pull out the fuse How can you fix it?
It's possible that the wiper switch is bad, but most likely it's the wiper motor itself. Wiper motors have an internal switch that only turns off when both the manual switch is turned off AND the wiper blade is in the park position. If the wiper motor cannot sense that it has hit the park position, it will run continuously.

Answer: Copied from another site: You have a mechanical park switch which is part of the wiper crank arm.it acts as a clutch plate ,more than likely the mechinisim will have to be replaced .or Either the crank arm is bad, out of adjustment, or the crank arm tab is bent. Install the crank arm on the wiper motor. Turn the ignition switch to the ACCY position. Set the wiper switch to PULSE position. The wiper motor should be operating. Turn the ignition switch to OFF when the wiper motor is in the innerwipe position. Important Do not rotate the wiper motor shaft during the installation of the crank arm. Install the crank arm on the wiper motor while maintaining a 4-8 mm (0.157- 0.315 in) gap between the V-grove in the wiper motor crank arm and the tab. Install the screw.
