Wiper Won't Shut Off

  1. If wipers works correctly in "DELAY", turn ignition "ON" and wiper switch "OFF". Disconnect terminal 1, 2, 3 connector. Connect test lamp between wires to terminals 1 and 2. If power is present terminal 1 wire is grounded or switch is defective. If no power, check park relay spring. If ok, replace park relay.
  2. If wipers do not stop in "DELAY" mode, check to see if wipers park when ignition is turned "OFF". If so, clean wiper holding switch contacts or replace timer/switch assembly. If not, check override switch contacts, grounded blue wire, or replace timer/switch assembly.
