I've been chasing wires for a week or so, but I can't seem to get my windshield wipers to shut off. I can't find the short either. My washer fluid tank won't stop pumping either. Has anyone else experienced this? It's really annoying.

 

Sounds like the switch is stuck in the "wash/wipe" position. Which would be pulled towards the driver. You may be able to pull it towards you and flick/release it to possibly get the contacts to release for the time being. I have seen the factory grease dry up and get very sticky causing prolonged power applied. Or possibly dirty contacts shorted out to each other?

 

unplug it at the switch and see if it stops. if it does. its the switch. if not its somewhere after the switch. like the wires

 

I tore my whole column apart this morning and cleaned everything in and out. I got them to stop for a little while, but once I checked to make sure they still work properly, it got stuck again. Hopefully i can find a working one at the junkyard. Thanks for the advice guys, I'm really glad it wasn't a short hidden inmy dash!
