Windshield wipers will not turn off

[ZekeTheSneak]

Once clicked to any position my wipers will not turn off, I have replaced the relay (in engine bay big black one), and the wiper stock.

What is next? the motor?

[Cabriolet]

you need to replace the switch in the steering column, sounds like it is not dropping connection once it is switched to the off position.

I replaced the stalk.... meaning the switch

You may want to try the wiper control relay. Its the big black one in the fusebox. you could have a broken/stuck pole. They are expensive new, but you should be able to find one at a junkyard for cheap, most folks don't know what they are...

Edit: nevermind, I just saw that you already did that...

I guess all you can do is re-check the contacts in the fuse box and make sure that the harness in the steering column is in good order. You might have a bad ground or a chaffed wire somewhere along the bundle.

[McGyver]

mine do that from time to time because a wire's jacket melted so the metal grounded on the car. so you could check to see if you have any exposed metal around the wires.

this happened to me and I found a spare fuse stuck under the relay in the fusebox.

Thanks I will trace the wiring,

How awesome is this thread? I posted something on M42Club yesterday because I've been having this same problem. Got the same answers as here except this one. So I go look at my fusebox and what did I find? A fucking spare fuse stuck under the damn relay!! :D
