headlamp washers don't switch off

Sep 8th, 2003, 22:53

due to the death of the wiper blades on my 94 850 estate's headlamp washers , i took off the wipers from the drive shafts thinking that would be that . now whenever i use the windscreen washer the headlamp drive shafts keep on turning until the engine is switched off. when the engine is turned on they sometimes start up again.
i've looked for some way to disconnect the motors but am unable to see any obvious connections even with the headlamp removed. any help would be appreciated

Frankly the best solution would be to fit new blades and put the arms back on!
