You have a broken ground wire to the washer pump! Seen this quite a few times.Check between the pump and fire wall connector.

I had an issue with my 2012 CE where once you turned on the wipers they would not shut off. you would have to stop the bus and with the wiper switch in the off position. You would then have to turn the key off then restart the bus to turn the wipers off.

It turned out we had to replace the body control module to fix the problem

The washer pump should have 12v all times,fused by fuse f34. The esc (body controller) supplies the ground signal wire A87G. It comes from the round bolt in connector at the firewall, pin#L. It goes from there to the connector by the gear box pin F then to the washer pump. Washer pumps are notorious for shorting out/ locking up.

We had same problem, after days of troubleshooting we finally figured out that there was a pinched wire in the steering tilt. We searched high and low, replaced switch replaced relays replaced wiper motor swapped ESC with no luck. Finally we noticed with the steering wheel in a certain tilt position the wipers would stop. Hope this helps.
