Best Answer

There is a park mechanism on some Centuries that tends to bend if the wipers get used with too much ice or snow. You need to remove the wiper arms, then the plastic cown panels in order to gain access to the wiper motor and trans assy. Once the cowls are removed you may see the metal bracket that contacts the spring loaded finger on the motor has been damaged or bent. You'll need to bend it back up so that it contacts the finger again.

Wipers don't stick if it wont move that means the wiper motors have froze up as in quit working all you can do is try to get the wiper motor working by turning the wiper switch on and grab the wiper arm and try to move it up or down if that don't work remove the wiper arms then remove the cowl and replace the wiper motors
