Check the relay relay maybe latched on. See if there is an identical relay in the box and swap them if problem goes away replace relay.

most times the problem is the rotating contact under the steering wheel has a break in the wiring of the flat ribbon connector, the part is called a clock-spring airbag contact.

We had the same problem and sometimes they wouldn't turn off. The intermittent wipers were random. We replaced the wiper motor. Be sure to get the motor with two balls on the wiper shaft (one for each wiper arm). If you can't find it, you'll have to change the part out on the new motor. Keep the wiper arms in the same location on removal, or it will jam and you'll have to start over.

SOURCE: 1983 chevy pick up wipers won't turn off

The wipers have a control module in the wiper motor. That is what is wrong. On that model you will have to replace the wiper motor . Good Luck

SOURCE: Windshield wiper will not turn off unlessfuse removed/vehicle off

suspect a shortcircuit in the stalk switch.
1has moisture or rain got into the switch? see if problem goes after a few days
2. use WD40 or contact cleaner into the part of the switch where the cables connect to the stalk you may have to open up the steering column or possible with thin straw nozzle supplied with the can.

3. switch is defective and needs to be replaced.

Back windshield wiper won't turn on

Here are some more common problems.
  • Motor:
The wiper motor is commonly replaced and was often not the problem. Don't replace the motor yet. maybe it's not the motor. It could be a fuse or something at the wiper switch. The wiper motor has two windings, fast and slow. The wiper switch sends a ground signal to each motor winding. More often, there are problems with the relay, or at the wiper switch, or in the cable to the motor.
  • Windshield Washer:
Don't be too quick to replace the washer pump. The problem is often just a clog in the sprayer heads. You can clean out the sprayer holes with a needle, some have two holes, so look closely. Hope this helps.
