Rear wiper not stopping

[Jazzy2022]

On a couple of occasions recently, the rear wiper on my car didn’t stop wiping regardless of the position of the rear wiper control on the wiper switch stalk. Everything else on the switch (front wipers, front and rear wash) works as it should.

Does anyone know if the problem is more likely to be with the rear wiper control or the rear wiper motor?

Are you sure your gear selector wasn't on reverse (R)? Because if its on R and front wipers are on at the same time, then the rear wiper turns on automatically.

That’s exactly what happened. Problem solved - thank you.
