When the wipers are off the lie straight up. How can I resolve this problem
make sure the wiper switch is off then take them off and reset them in the park position.
ok it would help knowing the make and Model of the car. the wiper motor is built with a timer in it and stop positions . Most likely the wiper rod has slipped where it connects at the motor . Some times it is as easy as disconnecting the rod and reconnection it when the motor is in the off position. then re position the wipers to the right location and reconnect . you may have to replace the wiper arm as it may be damaged. please inspect all parts for damage. to do it . disconnect the wiper arm from where it connect to the motor. the turn the wipers on then back to the off position then line the wiper arms down a the bottom of the windshield next to the stops . then reconnect the wiper arm back to the motor.
