hi guys, ive a 98 gtv the wipers wont turn off.I removed the steering cowling and all the stalk connections can be removed but it still stays on and i changed the wiper motor itself.Only way to stop it is remove the fuse.Ive also swapped relays.Obviously its getting a current when it should not.Ive looked at the fusebox were they prone to failure?

Sounds like a bad earth? .........Power still going to motor and switch turned off!?

Seymour, you did clean/shine the electrical spades before connecting back to loom? I find if the spade contacts are blue/grey, you get all sorts of issues with wipers, so a bit of emery paper and a dib of dialectic grease and see if that sorts your problem?

I really thank you for your input.I often type into google a fault but it seldom shows all the threads as posted here.It was the relay i knew i was going in the right direction cos as i unbolted it about half a cup of tea dribbled out of n14 relay unit.Something i would never have found (easily) WITHOUT YOUR INPUT SO CHEERS ONCE AGAIN.
