It's a switch on your wiper motor itself that tells your wipers when they have reached the parked position so they know when to stop moving.
Self parking wipers usually have a live power to them all the time the IGN key is ON.
There is a parking switch makes and breaks this supply every time the wipers reach their park location. It is built in to the wiper assembly.
If this switch fails CLOSED, the wipers won't stop. If it fails OPEN the wipers will usually move a tiny bit away from park and then stop for good.
It looks pretty sure yours has failed CLOSED, which should be easier to fix.
Take the thing out and have a look. You should be able to work out where the switch is, how to get at it, and hopefully how to sort it.

Freelanders are prone to the boot floors filling up with water. I just wondered if water causing a short could be your fault. From what you say though it sounds unlikely. It is possible that you caught a wire though.
