Wiper switch

It rained last night and I used the wipers, now they won't turn off. They work on the different settings but will not turn off. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My first guess would be the multi-function switch is possibly bad.

My first guess would be the switch that's internal to the gear train has malfunctioned. It's the one that allows power to be continued until the motor drives to the full down" position.

Try new wiper blades. When mine does this, it's because the old blades are sticking and not fully allowing the blades to seat. That (I believe) "tells" the motor that they are not fully seated and to try again... but they still won't fully seat. and now it's froggy time (repeat, repeat)
