Default 71 wipers won't stop

My 71 wipers won't stop. Switch works in low and high speed, but when switched off the wipers continue in low speed. Trying to troubleshoot why the wipers won't park and stop?

The head scratcher is the wipers run even with the key off?

If it making the "sounds" like it's trying to find the park ?
Sort of a clicking/clack noise as the motor tries to catch the park path on the gear
