Windshield Wipers Won't Go Off???
Hi all,
Just purchased a 99 civic coupe.....windshield wipers will not go off after car turns on. Has anyone ever had this problem, is it the motor or motor relay??? Please help, very annoying.

Start by unplugging the switch at steering column harness, to eliminate it as the problem. 94

Thank you for the quick response.......ICU???? Ignition Control Unit? Forgive the ignorance. How would one go about eliminating possiblities? Test the switch?? Test the motor assembly?? I was thinking to just purchase a new motor assembly and go from there, however id rather not just replace parts for the sake of it...you know? For the time being I have removed the fuse for the wipers so they stay off. What would be the first thing you would do in this situation. Thanks again.

RESOLUTION: I figured id update this question with the resolution for searching purposes.....the problem was in fact the wiper motor assembly. As fcm stated there is a switch inside the motor that sends a signal for it to "park" the wipers when the switch is turned to the off position. This switch was bad resulting in the wipers staying on....forever. Changed the motor, problem solved. Unfortuntatly this part can't be purchased seperately and the whole motor had to be replaced.
