Windsheild wiper troubles

I was going to ask on a car forum but don't know which ones are good and am at work and don't want to sign up for another forum right now. I have a problem with my windsheild wipers where they stay on after engaging them. I can turn the switch to off and they keep on trucking. Until I turn the car off, and then they are off until I turn them on. When I turn the car on, they park themselves at the bottom if the wipers are set to off. Seems like it would be an easy fix.

Ideas? Or suggestions for a car forum?

What kind of car?  I don't know what your problem is, but I might be able to direct you to a good forum.  Typically you want to find a forum for your specific model car... and yes, that's a thing. 

Wiper systems usually have a set of relays that control the whole startup/shutdown procedure.  It sounds like it could be a simple wiring problem and/or one of these relays are loose.  That's about the extent of my wiper knowledge though.

Try searching for "wiper park" as it's a fairly common problem on old Buicks.  I know grandmaw's old 85 lesabre did it, but I was 6 at the time, so I don't exactly remember what the issue was.  ;)

Same sort of issue on my 98 Silverado.  I have to replace my windsheild wiper logic board.
