Wipers seem to have a mind of their own

Hi, my wipers work however they seem to have a mind of their own. When turned on they keep going regardless of setting and eventually stop on there own after about 15 seconds consistently. Sometimes they stop in the middle or other random locations.

Once stopped they will only start again when I cycle ignition off and on.

Any help is help is appreciated.
Thank you...

NO idea myself but my wife's late '06 Cabrio just yesterday started doing exactly what you describe! Will update once we know what the cause is, and hopefully what proves to be a worthwhile & cost-effective fix.

Are these auto wipers and did you get new glass recently?
