Default 1980 Wipers won't stop wipering

Since doing the coolant flush my wipers have developed the annoying habit of never stopping. They will speed up and down by the switch but no longer go off. I have pulled the single black spade wire from the motor currently to stop it from running.

I have no idea what engine coolant has to do with wipers... i think the gremlins are multiplying

Easy test can be performed to verify that the motor is OK. I would highly bet that the controller behind the passenger seat is defective or has gotten wet. If the motor tests out with the FACTORY 3 wire terminal disconnected...Then it is the switch and or controller. Another test can be performed to check the factory wiring.
