Probably the wiper stalk, take off the steering wheel shroud and spray it with
a switch cleaner, WD40 may work, they get carboned up and don't work properly.
 
Do you mean they keep running constantly, or do they just stop whereever they are when you turn them off ?

If its the first, its probably the stalk switch, if its the second then its the parking mech, the self parking mechanism is usually located in the wiper motor itself.

Once the motor is running, a contact is made that keeps the motor running until its returned to the park position even with no power from the wiper stalk switch. If this contact is worn then the motor will only run from the stalk.

Not had a look at this motor, but on similar era cars, its a circular track with wiper contacts. Need the motor mech out and stripped down.
