Default Wipers won't stop going....

My wipers on my 01 Z06 will not turn off for some reason and I can't find the fuse to pull to make them stop. Any idea what is going on with them and how to fix it? I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks a lot guys!

The fuse to stop them is in the passenger side footwell. Also most likely your motor is gone from water getting stuck inside. After you pull the fuse, there are cow utters to let water pass through on the driver side engine bay by the windshield motor/tranny. Clean them out, probably lots of leaves and such. Then find the links on this forum to un-install the windshield motor/tranny, maybe you could let it dry but chances are its a gonner. Then go on ebay and find the correct part to buy. Once you have the new motor and/or tranny, its a pretty easy install.

Ah thanks! I went ahead and pulled the fuse for now since it isn't my DD. I'll have to clean out the utters sometime this week. '

Is there any way to get the wipers to go all the way down? Mine are stuck up and won't go completely down like they should when the motor is working correctly. I don't want to risk breaking anything but I'm driving the car to a wedding today and don't want it to be stuck up.

Those udders are clogged and your motor is done (from water). I had the same problem. Here is a good guide:

I got my motor at the local Autozone. They take your old one back as a core.
