Default C5 2004 convertible wiper problems

Hi guys I'm new here and I need your help. Wipers went on and never came back down to stop position. Wiper fuse is burning when I place the ignition key on without even starting the engine. Wiper switch is not on when this happens. I also disconnected the connector to the wiper motor and again the wiper fuse burns out when I turn the ignition key in on position. Has anyone ever had this problem? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Montreal.

Try the following. Remove minifuse 10 in the passenger footwell fusebox. Then check the resistance to ground, on the wiper motor plug, pin B, yellow wire.
