Sounds like the switch in the wiper motor has gone bad. You would have to replace the wiper motor to fix this problem. There are contacts inside the wiper motor head, when you turn them off it supplies power until the wipers return to the resting position and it opens the contact and then they stop. I hope you find this useful and helps you solve your issue.

SOURCE: wipers do not work in intermittent position. They do work in low and high speeds but do not automatically return to the park position. They stop wherever you turn the switch off.

i belive that your wiper switch has gone out on the intermittent side. this is a very common problem.
I hope this helps you
Thanks

SOURCE: 2002 ford ranger wiper problem replaced wiper

Check for blown fuses or go outside and turn the wiper on and see if you can hear the wipers trying to move.  The bushings under the wiper arm might be stripped or not properly aligned.  You might have a short somewhere also.  Electrical problems can get expensive.

SOURCE: Removing/replacing wiper motor in '93 Ford Ranger

You don't have to put the wipers in an upright position You can take the arms completely off. It's very easy to do, when you are looking at the base of the wiper arm, on the side closest to the windshield, at the base, there is a spring-loaded tab. Lift the arm on its hinge to where the arm is now pointing away from the windshield, pull the tab and the wiper arm will slide right off. Now you can access the linkage joints easily. Hope that helps!

I have replaced my washer motor twice already, both times ending up with the same result wipers stop in up position. In addition I replaced the multi function switch and the iww module under the dash on...

Wild guess, somehow the wiper arms have been repositioned so instead of the normal position stop in the position you describe. See what happens if you change the position of the arm. Otherwise the linkage if any, connecting arm to Wiper (not washer) motor are not connected properly or damaged.

Windshield wipers on 1986 Ford Ranger stopped working

unplug the wire at the wiper motor and then turn the key on and then turn the wiper switch on and test the wires at the plug with a 12 volt tester . if u dont have any thing then ur wiper switch is bad , if u have juice at the plug then it sounds like its the motor.

1998 ford ranger one windshield wiper just stopped working...

check the nut at the base of the wiper arm. There is probably a plastic cover that needs to be removed to see it. Tighten the nut and you should be good to go.

The wipers have stopped working but the windshield wiper fluid still works. After they stopped working and I had shut the car off for about 5 hours then ran to the auto store for fuses I started the car...

Sounds like the wiper motor is bad. Check to see if you are getting power to the motor and if you are that should be the problem. When you turn power off to the motor it is set to go to the normal position so more then likely it just loosened up a little to go back to the regular position when it did that to you. I hope this helped and good luck.

Wipers will not go down. They stay in the up position when turned off.

With out looking at it this is just a guess I would look at the wiper motor.
