Perhaps the small wheel in the wheelbox either has some teeth missing or worn down. It is a bit of work to check it out but the nice thing about it, if this is the case, turn the wheel 1/2 turn and you can likely use these for a few years yet. This wheel does not turn a complete turn when the wipers are working.

Thanks very much for the responses and suggestions. The round piece with the wire going into it on the wiper motor is not loose and leads me to believe that may not be the issue. I took the wiper arms off the spindle and operated the wiper switch. I found the spindles moved properly and parked as you would expect. I then put the wiper arms back on and tried to operate once again. From the drivers seat the wipers would sweep across to the right and not have the power to return. If I assisted the wiper arms they would return and also park it the switch were shut to off. Seems like not enough power to make the return sweep? Any suggestions are most welcome and thanks in advance.
