I've had this problem on other cars and if it is'nt the relay then it usually is something to do with the wiper motor. I think there is a switch in there somewhere that tells it when to park. Fraid I am no expert but it may be worth a look!
Hope this helps

Had exactly the same problem with mine. You need to take out the wiper motor, take off the gear cover and clean out and re-grease. Most probably dirty contacts. You can check the relay's OK by using a multi-meter on the plug and testing the switch settings. Easy job.
