Question
i have a 2002 pontiac bonneville and sometimes the wipers will not shut off.....thanks ken

Answer
    You will probably have to replace the motor.  There is a switch inside the motor that is designed to stop the motor with the wipers in the parked position on the windshield.  If that switch goes bad, they will keep running, even after you turn them off.  If you pull the fuse, they should stop, but you'd have to put the fuse back in every time it rained or snowed.
