There is a way to reset the "breakaway swicth" on newer GM wiper motors Go to a qualified GM dealer mechanic and pay. Then stop trying to wipe ice, froxen wipers, and too much snow with your wipers. Use a brush first!
In a 2003 Pontiac Montana, the windshield wipers may shut off in the up position due to the design of the wiper motor's park feature. This feature allows the wipers to return to a designated resting position when turned off, which can sometimes be higher than expected if the motor or linkage is misaligned or if there's an issue with the wiper control system. Additionally, a malfunctioning wiper switch or an electrical issue could also contribute to this behavior. Regular maintenance and inspections can help resolve this issue.
Could be for many different reasons. Maybe the sensor for the normal position is defective. The wipers might need a position adjustment, usually can be done by a flat head screw driver.
The car wipers should not stay up but return to their original position. The wipers will stay up if the wiper motor, the wiper controller and the wiper linkage are faulty.
It sounds like the wiper motor is malfunctioning. If your camaro has intermitten wipers there is a control module built in the motor that controls the off position.

To adjust the park position of the windshield wipers on a 2003 Grand Am, first, turn the ignition to the "off" position. Then, manually move the wiper arms to the desired park position, usually at the bottom of the windshield. Next, while holding the wipers in place, turn the ignition back to the "on" position and briefly activate the wipers. This should reset the park position to where you’ve adjusted them.
A bad pulse board or window wiper motor can cause your wipers to stay in the "up" position.

The windshield wipers are not automatic... the lever that controls the wipers have three positions and you will have to pull the lever down to the off position. The position below off is for mist. If you pull the lever to that position and let it go, the lever will go back to the off position.
In a 2002 Pontiac Aztek, the fuse for the windshield wipers is typically located in the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side. It is generally labeled as "Wiper" or "Wipers" and is usually a 20-amp fuse. Always consult the vehicle's owner's manual for the exact location and specifications, as fuse configurations can vary.
To adjust the windshield wipers on a 2014 Chevy Cruze LT to stop in the correct down position, first turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. Then, turn the wipers on to their highest setting and then back to the "Off" position. This should reset the wiper motor, allowing it to find the proper resting position. If the wipers still do not stop correctly, you may need to remove the wiper arms and reposition them manually.
