Default Wipers Stuck up when turned off?

ok so i've been having wiper issues for the past couple months an now that the rainy season is here i figured its time to start dinkin with them an get them working again...

So Befor id turn my wipers on an they wouldnt work. So i left them on an randomly when im driving they'd wipe one time then stop working again. So i pulled the circut breaker out (from the fuse box under driver side dash) an cleaned the prongs with a scotch pad an plugged it back in an waalaa my wipers are working now.

All speeds work but when i turn them to the off position they stop at the top of my windsheild an not the bottom...

Any ideas on why?

thanks anyone!

Possiblythe "park" switch in the wiper motor, contacts may be damaged internally
