When I run my windshield wipers on my BN1 for any more than a couple of
minutes they will no longer turn off when I push in the dash switch.  The
only way I can get them to shut off is to turn off the ignition switch.

I believe that the on-off switch for the wipers provides a path to ground
and I've been told that the reason they continue to run is that grease and
grit in the motor is providing that path when the motor warms up and that I
must remove the motor to fix the problem.  I hesitate to do this as it does
not look like an easy job so any input both as to the cause of the problem
and a solution will be appreciate.

BTW if it makes a difference I upgraded the wiper motor from the original
single-speed non self-parking model to a single-speed self-parking version
some years ago.  I'm not sure but believe it came out of a BN2.
