Can somebody tell me if this is normal? Seems like a dumb question, but do the wipers only park if you have the intermittent wiper switch in on position? If not what is not working right?
Not normal.

For the wipers to park, the circuit needs a ground. As described above, there's more than one thing that can go wrong with this...

From your description, it sounds like you have a ground when the intermittent switch is on, but not otherwise. This isn't the way it usually goes... Try moving the stalk around and see if they park.
