Don't worry, someone will be along with some help on your particular year. Try doing a search on windshield wipers... there have been many questions on them as they tend to be one of the problems that arise a lot. However, if I am correct, the problem is not too difficult to fix on your own.

There is an adjustment procedure in the Helm (factory) manual for the overlap. Mine were knocking and buckling against each other for all the years I owned the car, until I found and followed the simple steps. They didn't get used to often in SoCal.

The shut-off may be in the switch or inside the motor. I've no manual with me, while abroad.
