My windshield wipers WONT STOP!

[Alberto521]

So yesterday i was driving home, and it was raining, so i obiously had my wipers on.
When i get home, and i turned them off, i noticed they stopped halfway on the front glass (as in, not laying down, resting position) but i was tired, and cold, so i was like "f**k it" and went inside to sleep.

This morning, i had something to do, it was not raining, so i dont need my wipers, i was driving and the wipers just started moving, so i was like "oh, i prbly forgot to turn them off" but when i looked, they were on the OFF position.

I had to take the fuse out, but seriously, there needs to be a better way.

I am REALLY short in money, so how the hell do i fix this?

if it were my car?

i would sell it and get another one.

i hate electrical gremlins like that.

my car used to have a similar issue. when i would press the brakes my rear wiper would start wiping, and then stop when let back off the brakes. BUT if i shut the car off while the brake pedal was depressed it would stay going.. even though the car was OFF and the key was out.

i solved it by getting a hatch that didnt have a rear wiper.

My father says it may be the switch too...

so, i guess i can get it at the Honda dealership?

And in a scale 1 - 10, how hard is it to remplace?

And, any tutorials around here?

Before buying a new switch, unplug the one in there now and see if the wipers stop. Then plug it back in and see if they start again. If they don't stop at all it could be some relay, or maybe even the motor. Start isolating parts of the wiper system and see what happens.
