I’ve got a 1998 buick century.When wipers are shut off,they remain at a 45 degree angle.When on pulse they will park in between cycles at the bottem of windshield.  
  
 Where is the wiper motor located on this car?

Likely against the firewall probably under a plastic cowling.

Use a multimeter and test all the wiper functions before changing the wiper motor.
