That's the way it works. The override switch isn't to make them work, it's to stop them when you need to do maintenance on the blades. So you should only have 12v when it's on, and zero coming out of the switch going up to the limit switch when it's off. The override switch should be on all the time UNLESS you want to stop the wipers mid-swipe.

Unless the service override under the dash is turned off, which is what he was doing. That disconnects the 12v that passes through the wiper door limit switch then to the wiper motor.
