My wipers wont stop! :(

[grover]

Please help, my wipers wont stop, and after a 10 minute search on here i thought i'd found the perfect post/example, but it had no replies!

When i started my w reg pd sport this morning, and cleared the moisture from the windscreen they simply refused to turn off. Nothing i could do with the stalk helped - sure 'fast' quickened them, and intermittent caused a brief moment of hesitation, but 'off' certainly wasn't.

In the end i stopped and turned her off for a moment which did the trick, but i'm obviously fearful of touching them again until i've a better clue where to start.

If it helps, they did stick once or twice in the middle while i was playing about trying the different positions, but i've read thats related to the spindle - something that would not cause them not to turn off i would think..?

I guess a good place to start is a new stalk?

Cheers guys

I would try cleaning the connections on the stalk with some electrical spray cleaner.

It may as simple as dirt/dust causing the issue.
