Best Answer

The wiper motor assembly includes a "Park" sensor.

The sensor shuts off the wiper motor when two conditions are met:

  • The wiper switch is in the off position
  • The wiper blades are in the park location

If the park sensor is either damaged or dirty, the wipers will keep running.

If you are at all mechanically inclined, try opening the wiper motor assembly and see if you can clean the slide contacts that make up the sensor.

If that isn't helpful, replace the assembly.
