There should be little tabs at the base that slide down not out once you do that wiggle the arm back and forth while tugging up on them once off put back on in the them back on in desired position should be simple

the tabs-is at the base of the arm itself?

if you turn the wipers on do they operate normally? or go off the window?

when i turn the truck off-i can manually put the wipers back in its normal spot, but when i turn the truck back on-it goes back to the middle of the windshield

it hasnt rained yet since i got the truck, but when i did turn the wipers on b4 i purchased the truck-it operated normally-it just goes off the drivers side window VERY little....

but then again-i changed the wiper blades to the Bosch ones-so they were a little beefier than the ones the truck had b4...

if you turn the wipers on do they operate normally? or go off the window?

sounds to me like the wiper motor should be replaced. i believe you could just get away with replacing the circuit board part of the wiper motor. (cheaper that way)

even with the wiper operating normally?! it turns on/off no prob...

yeah. the "park" spot for the wipers doesn't seem to be working. if you take your wipers off and put them back on in a different spot they will go all caddywompus and go off the window. if its anything like the 95 tahoe you cant put them in a different spot anyways theres a tab where they go in and thats the only place they go.
