83 Z-28 windshield wiper problem
Hope I'm in the right category , but with my luck, likely not ! Anyway new spring problem with the wipers .Turn on fine, low and high fine, no delay and wont shut off . UNTIL you shut the car off , then they shut off and sink down where they should be when you restart the car. ... any tips or suggestions ? Thank you ! Bob

I had a similar issue too. Turn on the wipers and they didn't shut off unless I shut the whole car down and restart it. But- my speeds and delay worked.
I replaced the switch on my steering column and it's fine now.

If you find out the circuit board is bad, check out rebuilt washer pumps for a delay system. I believe they come with new boards attached. About 50-60 bucks though.
