Default Windshield Wiper Woes

Hey guys.

My windshield wipers turn on just fine in both the normal and the quick setting. But when I try to turn them off, they stay on.. none of the settings will turn them off. All I can do is turn off the car and start it back up.
Have any of you ever run into anything like this on a C4?

Thanks.

Probably the circuit board inside the wiper assembly.

I really appreciate the response. I figured it was probably the switch, but thought I'd ask around before breaking into it this weekend. How difficult was it to change the switch out? I'm hoping the door panel doesn't have to come off, but knowing my luck..

I believe the panel has to come off to remove the sw, but you won't have to unplug everything.

Revove all the screws, pop the manual lock handle, press in on the top and lift the pannel upward (with the window down).
