Hahaaaha! 

I laugh only because one of my birds does the same annoying thing. I can usually turn the wiper switch on off multiple times and get them to quit. But I don't have any permanent solutions, I think I remember seeing some other threads about it either here or NATO.

If this won't help, open carefully the motor assembly and clean the park switch contacts. It's a 15 minute job at most.
