We had a '91 Caprice 9C1 (police) that did this. We always just shut the
ignition key off for a split second and turned it back on to kill the
wipers. Since the 700R4 isn't electronic if we were going at highway speed
the wheels would keep the engine turning and we could be slow about it, in
town you had to be quick unless it was manually downshifted.

Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can get a replacement board (I
assume it's inside the wiper motor housing).
If not, the key idea sounds good, and I was thinking to cut one wire
going to the motor and put a switch under the dash to shut it off.
But getting the right wire may be tricky.

I dont think that shutting off the ignition key while driving is a very good
idea at all.
