Think you will find the wiper relay is knackered :y

As they move, but "park" in the wrong place .. my guess is the electrics - relays etc - are all good , but either the park microswitch is fubarred or the mechanism has "slipped". If memory serves there is a mark on the motor that should align with a mark on the mechanism to indicate the "park" position.

Dangerous? Anoying maybe but can't see how it's dangerous :-/
Remove the whole mechanism and the arm from the motor will have shifted on its tapered spline. Slacken the M8 nut and move the arm round till it lies between the marks ...... > <
sorted! :y :y
