My guess is that the spring on the ratchet mechanism in the windshield wahers is broken or the notches on the plastic wheel are worn out so the washer never shuts off.

I agree with Jim. Take it apart and see whats wrong with it. Those mechanisms do wear out and break.

Jim is absolutely, beyond a doubt, one of the sharpest members on this board. I'd put plenty of faith in his suggestions.
