I have a 98 Ford Taurus SE with windshield wipers that will not turn off once started unless you turn the ignition off. The wiper switch (stalk on column has been replaced. Relay has been replaced. Wiper motor has been replaced. What could be the cause (timer?) (another relay?) Thanks for your time bullnuke

SOURCE: Windshield Wiper Arm

Pull up on the wiper arm, you will see a tiny little blade on the side of the wiper arm where it goes over the post, take a little screwdriver and pry that out board, this will release the arm from the post, it will be tight, wiggle the arm and pull straight out away from the post.

You will have to change the swich that control the wiper blades cause sometimes they go bad

SOURCE: Windshield wiper will not turn off unlessfuse removed/vehicle off

suspect a shortcircuit in the stalk switch.
1has moisture or rain got into the switch? see if problem goes after a few days
2. use WD40 or contact cleaner into the part of the switch where the cables connect to the stalk you may have to open up the steering column or possible with thin straw nozzle supplied with the can.

3. switch is defective and needs to be replaced.
