Default Posessed Windshield wipers.

My windshield wipers are freakig out. Once I turn them off, it sounds like they're still trying to go down, then they'll come up about an inch then back down and the noise is going the whole time. WTF?

like i said it is probably the control module, i would call a dealer (either the parts dept or service) and ask if wiper motor is serviceable or if the module is separate from the motor. i know some module were and some werent.
