Best Answer

There is a sensor inside the wiper motor which keeps the wipers running until they reach the "park" position. If that sensor has failed, the wipers will continue to run, seeking the park postition and unable to find it. Wiper motors for American vehicles are often relatively inexpensive and should solve the problem for you.

How do you reset the windshield wipers for a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

There is no "reset" in the wiper motor. If your wipers do not park, it is likely your wiper motor parking contact or cam is broken. Try running the wipers with the key in the "ON" position, then turn the wipers off using their switch while they are up on the windshield. They should park themselves at the bottom. The good news is a wiper motor is pretty cheap at a junkyard, and not too hard to replace.
