Remove the plastic that covers your wiper motor just below the windshield. On the wiper motor there is a small plate held on by screws, remove the plate. You will see two metal tabs, one of which appears bent. Bend it back and reassemble. The problem usually occurs when the wipers are held in place, by ice for instance, and the switch is turned on.
1)If that doesnt work then after you remove the plastic cover and take off the nut...which is 13mm size, your going to need to get like channel locks or vice grips and pull the wiper arms off. 2)Once they are off, remove the cowl cover. You might need to get a small screwdriver and pry up the plastic screw and get a needle nose plier and pull the screw out and then the other little plastic thing the screw went into you have to pry out as well...it's not hard. 3)Then once you remove the screws, remove the lining strip and disconnect the wiper hose. 4)Now once the cowl cover is removed you'll see another plastic cover on the driver side. Remove that. There's a little white plastic thing holding it down. Take that off. Be careful because it might tear. If it does don't worry then it makes it easier to remove the cover. 5)Now you see a black plastic cover covering the gears and stuff. That just pops off. Take that off. 6)Now there's this torx head screw, just break it lose. Once its broken loss that whole gear thing will turn freely from the motor. You'll see an arm that stick up at an angle from the gear.It should be sticking up and to the right. It should be connected to another arm that actually pushes and pulls the blades. Turn the gear so that the arm is turned to the bottom left position. You might have to adjust it just a little to one side or the other but its in that general direction. 7) Once its set in that direction, re tighten the torx headed screw. Now put one blade on to see if its set correctly. Now if its not set correctly just adjust the wiper arm or readjust the gear. 8) Once you have it set. Do everything in reverse when you put it back together and you should be okay.
olds wiper problemif you pry off the plastic cover on the wiper blades- there will be a large nut- if this is not tightened down enough it will let the wipers shift from the original setting and even strip out some of the aluminum around the hole reposition the blade in the right spot and re tighten the nut
For the perfectionistIf you'd rather do it without breaking things, go get a re manufactured wiper motor assembly and replace it, assuring that the holes in the arms aren't stripped out.

What are the sizes of windshield wiper blades on 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee wiper blade sizes are 21" wiper blades on both sides front and a special 14" rear wiper that is difficult to find in the stores. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are currently over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

I'm going to add my answer above the original answer below because I think this question is regarding "wind lift" which is common with some vehicles and some types of wiper blades.
You may want to purchase wiper blades with airfoils that use the wind to push them down rather than lift them up. See related link below.

Original answer:
What you do any time your vehicle becomes unsafe while driving. Slow down, pull over to the side of the road and stop and put on your hazard flashers.
To repair the problem, requires knowing the cause. The wiper has a hold down nut. If the nut is loose, you may be able to reposition the wiper arm and tighten the nut. If the nut isn't loose, then the wiper arm is probably stripped, and the fluted shaft doesn't grip it and the wiper arm will have to be replaced.
(BTW the above also means that you do NOT roll down the drivers window and bat at the moving wiper while driving in traffic half blinded by rain blowing in on your face. Apart from getting your clothes wet, the only result is to strip the wiper arm in case it wasn't already stripped so that you can skip diagnosing the problem, pull over and wait for the rain to stop, and then drive directly the auto parts store knowing exactly what you need. Your receipt may help you convince your boss/gf/wife that you really were late because you had car trouble, but don't tell them the part about getting wet, you'd sound like an idiot.)

the cigarette light fuse is in your lower console thorugh the axxess panel and its fuse #32 or #28
Answerwell if you know where your fuse panel is, then it should be simple if you have you owners manual. Get your owners manual and look in the undex you should be able to find pages dealing with fuses, (i know my pickup has a chart under the fuse infromation pages) If your manual has one look at the chart, and find the fuse, replace it. AnswerLocate which fuse handles the circuit, pull it out, put in a new one.to be correct its located in the hood area behind the battery i think number 23 not sure
Answer, it is fuse #32 under the hood. It takes a yellow #20 fuse in the #32 slot. There seems to be some confusion on this on the net. But just changed mine and it works like a charm.
the delay on jetta wipers is different. the delay is adjustable. if someone set the delay very long, you will think the delay is not working. here's how to shorten the delay. turn the wipers to delay (one click DOWN on the stalk). immediately turn it back off and now turn it back on. the delay is the length of time you had the wipers off between the two on's. for a 3 second delay, turn the wipers to delay, immediately turn them off, wait three seconds and turn them back on. for a 6 second delay, turn them on, immediately turn them off, wait 6 seconds and turn them back on.
