Default wiper going crazy. need help ASAP

So I turn my Jeep on today and the rear wiper was on so I go to turn it off it turns out the switch was never on. I tried paint with the switch but it just stays on. So I bang on it a bit to see if it will stop and I make it worse. The wiper won't shut off and the wiper fluid is coming out too. Eventually I made it to work but my fluid is empty andi believe the pump is still running. How cani fix this. Is there a relay or fuse I can pull off in the mean time. Thanks. It's a 99 btw

Forgot to mention my regular wipers are working fine. It's it the switch just talkinga dump? I'm afraid I'm gonna burn out the motor on the washer fluid since it won't shut off

A lot of time you can take switch apart and clean and fix at least on 89s you can...
