the park tab is bent. it is a thick piece of metal that must be bent back slightly toward the wiper motor with a hammer or plyers.
I assume this issue started when there was snow/ice on the windshield?
I have found that if you put rainex on the windshield everytime you change your oil you will not have that problem.
You might need to tighten them up or get new ones. they might get stuck if dirt or leaves get caught.
They could be stuck, possibly from snow, ice, or other types of precipitation.

If windshield wipers are stuck in position and won't move, I would say that the windshield wiper motor needs replacing. This happened to me last year.
If the windshield wipers on your Pontiac Vibe won't turn off, it could be due to a faulty wiper switch, a stuck relay, or an issue with the wiper motor itself. Check the wiper control stalk for any stuck positions or damage. If the issue persists, inspect the fuse box for a malfunctioning relay. If necessary, consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

Buy a new car. I have had the crank arm replaced(which is suppose to solve the problem) and I'm back at square one with the wipers not working at all now. AND THE DEALERSHIP DID THE REPAIRS!!! I'll get back to everyone if the dealership doesn't make this right.
To repair stuck windshield wipers on a 1990 Nissan 300ZX, first check the wiper fuse to ensure it’s not blown. If the fuse is fine, inspect the wiper motor and linkage for any signs of damage or disconnection. You may need to remove the wiper arms and the cowl cover to access the motor; ensure that the motor is receiving power when the wipers are activated. If the motor is faulty, it may need replacement.
If it's the same reason mine stopped, it's because the not is loose where the wiper arm is attached (at the windshield). Most likely caused by operating the wipers while they are stuck in ice or snow. Hope that helps
Sometimes there is a racket system and the wipers have slipped. Used to happen all the time in my 1998 Buick. Always had to take them apart and put them back together.
Check the first two fuses in the fuse box under the hood. They are square and black.
