Exclamation wipers got a mind of there own.

ok my wipers have come on by them selves twice now and they wont shut off no matter what i try to do with the wiper switch. if i shut the truck down the wipers stop but there is this buzzing under the dash. i unhook the batterys and hook them back up and every things is fine and works fine. its only happened twice in the past 7 or 8 months.

In my case for months I had no intermitent wiper function and I had to turn em off when they were down because once I turned the **** they stopped wherever they were at. I was just puttin off changing the motor and one day they worked just fine again. I don't know what the problem was or what changed.

or until it freezes up, starves your engine of water, and your pistons melt to the block.
