Windshield wiper problem
Wife turned the windshield washers on this morning & the wipers wouldn't go off.
I messed with them for a little while & still couldn't get them to work right. Will not turn off with switch & delay doesn't work.
Changed the "Multi function switch" thinking that would be it. No change.
What is in this circuit that can go wrong? Where is the control for the delay ?
Any help or ideas are welcome.

Like ken1mod said, its the park switch. Here's a link to an earlier posting on how to remove and adjust the contacts.

How can the PARK SWITCH IN THE WIPER MOTOR ASSY keep the motor from turning off if the switch is off ?

The park switch is designed to let the motor continue to run until the blades have returned to the bottom of their motion even when the wiper switch is turned off. You will have noticed that when you turn off the wiper, the blades do not stop at that position but return back to their starting position. If the park switch sticks... they keep going and going and....
