Windshield Wipers Won't Stop
Okay, I know how to diagnose the problem but its cold out, so I was wanting some input so I dont have to go outside and investigate so much. My problem started yesterday when I went to get the salt off my window and nothing came out of the nozzles. I thought I was out of fluid so I filled it up and still got nothing. So today I went to the gas station and got gas, cleaned my windshield, and drove off. About a minute later the wipers started going by themselves, like on the constant but slower speed setting. If i put them on high they would go faster, but no matter the setting they would stay on. If I turn the car off they would stop. This is the strange part though. If I turn the car on and put in in reverse the wipers start going non-stop again. Do you think this could be the switch?

I didnt see that but I dont think thats bad because my chimes still work fine. Maybe different functions can go bad though, Ill have to look into that. When I get home from work I'll go over the wiring diagram. Thanks man.

P.S. the problem went away. I plugged the wiper motor back in and the wipers work fine, as well as the washer nozzles. I guess I dont have to resort to the spray bottle biggamehit. I am still going to relocate my harness though.

oh...maybe an 1.5 inches or so?
there is a little lip on there you can lift your harness up to.
other wise, the harness sits where you see my hood release cable when stock.
people usually pull the whole harness and run it inside, but just find what ever works for you..this works out just fine for me. i gotta do every other week or so check up on the harness to see if it's fine or not.
