Wipers not turning off
Could not turn off the wipers yesterday, finally had to pull the fuse. Any idea whether this is the switch or motor? How difficult is it to replace either?

The only way to find out is to do a process of elimination. I had to swap out the wiper motor from my old Civic with one from an Integra. I didn't have the same problem though. My old motor seemed slow in operation.

Re: Wipers not turning off
This will sound crazy, but when I had a wreck in my EM1 the repair shop who repaired my front end damage did not connect a ground on the car properly and it was loose... I was like huh a loose ground will make my wipers come on and off ; Well I took it back in to them and sure enough they found it and it hasn't happened since ; My loose ground was located near the driver's side fender inside the engine bay...

Re: Wipers not turning off
There was an accord that I saw with wipers that would NOT turn off unless you turned off the headlights. The left turn signal also just stayed lit. When I unplugged the left headlight, the wipers turned off, and the turn signal worked as it should.
I believe that the headlight was "stealing" it's ground through other circuits. I didn't actually get a chance to diagnose.
