>Well it seem that my wiper motor still has a slight mind of its own.  When
I
turn it on it works great.  But when I want to turn it off it want to keep
going.  I then open the bonnet and wiggle the motor it then stop and parks
correctly.  Ideas please?

Dave,

There is a cam operated switch inside the motor and it sounds like the old,
hardend grease is not allowing the switch operator to fall back on the cam
holding the switch in the RUN position.  The proper fix is to disassemble
the motor, clean out the old grease and replenish with new and reassemble. 
The quick fix is to take the cover off and spray with some WD40 (or eq) and
hope some gets down there to fix it.
