Strange wiper problem

[Turfite]

Hi guys hope you are well,
I have 2009 citroen C5, the thing is my passenger side wiper sticks in the upright position when turned on, then returns to resting when I return to the car after a short while when I unlock the car.
I have checked the motor magnets etc on the passenger side and greased seem ok and was clean inside. The wiper motor works when the wiper is removed, I am at a loss guys. Could it be the drivers side motor.
I thank you all in advance

How old is the battery?
Have you tried doing a BSI reset? viewtopic.php?p=601679#p601679

no not key fob wiper passenger side sticks in upright position after one sweep and when I leave car and return goes back to normal when I open door

Are you touching the wiper stalk after you remove the key, this is used to put the wipers in the upright position so they can be worked on. Should be something in the handbook.
