I'm not fond of the idea myself, but it's either that, or pulling over
to unplug the motor wire. I suppose I could pull over and shut off
the key. However, I plan to install an under dash switch, unless I
can get a replacement board. They want almost $100 for a rebuilt wiper
motor. I can get a under dash switch and some wires for less than $5.
So, I think the switch wins. Now, I only have to determine which of
the 3 wires to cut to install the switch. ????
It's an old car, so I'm not going to spend a lot on a wiper motor that
still works, just wont shut off.

It is not likely the wiper motor that is your problem.. The pulse board
controls the variable speed wiper,
and these boards from GM are known to have weaknesses.
I believe you can find a new (aftermarket, thank goodness) board for less
than $30 online.
I'll google it for you if you wish.
