WIPERS TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY AND WONT SHUT OFF...HELP!!!

Hey guys yesterday after making a u-turn my wipers came on automatically even in the off position and now the wipers won’t stop wiping intermittingly. I don’t have rain sensors and I also recently had projector headlights installed.

Anybody here know what caused the wipers to come on by itself and how to fix it?

Update. I removed the wiper relay which disabled the wiper and purchased a new one thinking it was probably short. However, i installed the new relay and the wiper still wipes automatically.

I don't think its the wiper switch because all the other wiper modes work i just can't get it to turn off. Can anyone chime in?

Could be the rain sensor, which you can test by unplugging. Of course, it could be the $10 rain sensor harness. If it's the switch, the good news is they are inexpensive.

Took the car to an Indy to get diagnosed. He said my SAM unit (Signal Acquisition/Activation Module) needs to be replaced. Fack its an expensive fix too.

When the windshield wiper does not turn off.




Directly to your question, here are the locations of the wiper relays.
