Default Windsheild wipers won't shut off, HELP!!!

A friend with a new (less than 1K) 02, Z-06, and the wipers just go on without warning. If you shut off the car they seem to re-cycle and go on again. If you use the washers it does the same thing, has anyone else had this problem

I SURE HAVE!!! I went on and on with this stupid ordeal with a local dealer and found out that the drain tubes below the wiper motor were clogged with leave's and misc debris causing the water to back up and short the motor out... You need to unclog the draines before it shorts the motor completely.. :cheers:
