Wiper where frozen to windo last winter and was left on when Van started it striped the wiper connection from the motor. I put it back together but it was out of sync wipers hitting each other. got then working but they go past bottom stop then back up the stop. I want them to stop at the bottom where there supose to stop
Remove the wiper arms from the pivots
cycle the wipers through their travel to a park
install wiper arms back on in the parked position
SOURCE: front wipers stopped working but you can hear the motor run also
If the wipers were buried under snow/ice or frozen to the windshield, you may have blown the red 10 amp fuse located in cavity 9 in the fuse block located on the bottom left side of the instrument panel near the parking brake pedal.
In order of easiest to check:
1) ensure wipers not frozen to windshield.
2) ensure wiper arms are not loose on the pivot stud,
3) check the red 10 amp fuse.
You stated that "you can hear the motor". Which motor do you hear? The engine or the wiper motor?
If you hear the wiper motor, then the fuse is alright. Try 1) and 2) above.

The van is now about 13-14 years old, chances are that the switch has worn to a point that the finite metal particles are shorting it out causing it to be on all the time. Re and clean the switch contacts, you should be good to go. Please let me know how you make out. Good luck..
