Wipers wont stop

Will driving my truck the wipers started to work. Now they won't turn off. Could it be the wiring in the steering column? I will post this in the electrical section also.

Most likely the switch. reach up behind the dash and unplug the connector from the wiper switch.

Re: Wipers wont stop

If its an aftermarket switch throw it out and get a factory one, I had a aftermarket one in my 71 for about 6 months and if fell apart.

I epoxy the back of the repop switches to prevent this. But to the OP, yeah, probably a bad switch.

The switch is a used factory one. I know the ones made in China are garbage. I will check the wires in a week or two. Maybe Napa sells a good one.
