Windshield Washer Motor won't stop!
My son is home on leave from AF Pilot training and just bought a 02 Z06. We just had to disconnect the windshield washer motor because it runs continuously. Is this a known problem with the Z06? What is the cure?
Thanks,
Cy

Haven't heard of this, whatever the problem is would not be unique to the Z06 as it is the same motor and switch as any C5. It sounds like the switch, and it would be a warranty item.

Cy,
I assume you didn't buy the car that way. ;)
Did anyone wash the engine bay and get water in one of the connectors to the wiper motor.
I helped a friend clean his engine recently on a Surburban and we rinsed off the engine. When we started it the wipers came on and would not shut off.
We disconnected all the connections to the wiper motor and blew them out with air. Problem fixed.
Good luck with it.

ON MY 02 Z THE BUTTON ON THE STALK WAS STICKING I DRAINED SEVERAL BOTTLES OF WASHER FLUID. IT TOOK THE DEALER 2 TRIES TO FIND IT CAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK DEPRESSED.

This same issue happened to me yesterday, the motor just started out of the clear blue. I kept pushing the washer button on the steering column and it finally stopped. All the fluid was pumped out though. Thinking the switch in the column is possibly going bad
