Default Windshield Wipers...

My windshied wipers keep running (on a delay) even when they are swiched to off. So I pulled the fuse so they would stop but now they are not all the way down. What could be the problem? Sounds like the swich is broken? Thanks for any help in advance

Look at the additional threads on this in the recent forums. I have the same problem but it is on low continously. A great source for the forum membership help to narrow down to the wiper motor that has a history of problems with water and the results that happen if the motor get pooled with water. Auto Zone sells a motor for 40.00 with a lifetime warranty. I not saying that it is not the switch but the greater % is the motor and for 40.00 it is good insurance.
