Thats what I did, you rotate them to the upright position to change them. That's called the maintenance or service position in the manual.

So I recently changes the wiper blades on my 2018 Ford Edge Sport. I put the wipers into maintenance position, switched them out, then started the ignition so they would go down like normal. That same day we got rain so I turned on my wipers to do a single wipe and the driver side wiper only went up about 3/4 of the way before looking like the blade was too sticky and stuff to the windshield. The other blade went up and down with no problem. I pulled over touched the wiper blade and it finished its wipe but when it went into the rest position is would go down then jump back up. Then whenever I would try a single swipe the same thing would happen, but when put in intermittent wipes it would work just fine. After doing some research I thought maybe they needed to be reset since they weren't going into the rest position properly. I went out and put them into the maintenance position and turned on the ignition just to try and see what would happen and the driver side wouldn't move at all. The passenger side went down but the driver side just stayed up and would twice every few seconds. I put them down, removed the wiper arms and tried to turn on the wiper blades and neither side would move at all. Is this going to be a faulty wiper motor or could something else be the issue?
