Question GC8-Which Fuse-Wipers On Wont Stop

Hi All,

The windscreen wipers are on 100% of the time, and I can't stop them.
Stalk is unresponsive, through the super fast mode works, but OFF does nothing.

Anyway, I need to take the car to the garage, which fuse can I pull to stop the wipers.

Car is a JDM 1998 Type R GC8.

Pulled the fuse box cover off (in the engine bay), but info on underside makes no mention of wipers (AFAIK).
There is a second area of fuses below the steering wheel, but I have temporarily misplaced the cover - probably in a box in my garge labelled WRX Parts

HELP !

Just unplug the motor...it's on the passenger side bulkhead....quicker than fumbling with fuses.

The return/park switch inside the motor is probably stuck anyway; and that's where you'd test to make sure it's the motor at fault and not a stuck relay. (don't wire have colours and pinouts, sorry).

Bizarre, they are now working fine and I haven't done anything.
Admittedly, I disconnect the battery when not in use as it's not a daily drive car, but just for weekend blasts.
Must be something to do with that I guess???
