What happened to yours is exactly hwat happened to mine a few weeks back. There are three or four screws that hold the motor to the wiring assembly... Them screws backed out, and the motor fell off, the crank got jammed, and the motor can't get past the jam, but even if the wipers are off, that motor is trying as hard as it can to park the wipers.

First thing you gotta do is kill the power source, which is easiest done by disconnecting the switch. Of course, be sure to mark where the wires go.

Only solution is to remove the whole wiper assembly, replace the screws... of course, bench test the motor to insure you didn't cook it.
