I think mine did this a few weeks ago, I just put it on the slow setting and flicked it off when it got to the off position.

Don't think it's done it since tho...

I`d think relay or stalk. If you jiggle the stalk does it behave the same?

In the fuse box. Cant remember which one. Pull them out one at a time while trying the wipers, when they stop you have got it.

I doubt it. When you find it, take the lid off and have a look inside, the soldered joints are always failing. 2 minutes with a soldering iron often helps a lot.
