Wipers Not Shutting Off

Does anyone know what may be wrong when your winshield wipers won't shut off? Well, they do shut off, but not until about 5 min after I actually turn them off. Where can I set the timeout on the wipers? Or is it more simple like a bad fuse?

Thanks

That's an internal wiper motor problem. Very common on all the cars (numerous platforms) that have the same type of wiper motor that our cars have.

Get a new wiper motor.

i got the same problem...i checked in the service manual and it says its the park switch. it is not the one that prevents you from starting the car when the tranny isnt in park, its in the wipers and makes them go beneath the hood I checked napa and they said its only available from the dealer, so ill just go and rip it off a junkyard car. until then i jsut pull the fuse when i dont need them
