Default windshield wipers move by themselves -- Anyone experience this?

Title says it. The speeds still work but when they are turned off they still move sometimes. I just unplugged the wiper motor for now.

maybe your wiper switch on the steering column is loose i now mine is and this causes my wipers to go off whenever i hit a bump or turn at high speeds.

Yeah my car does that every once in a while. But they move REALLY slowly. Also my intermittent position doesn't work.

New wiper switch. They start to fall when they get old.

Well if you put a larger fuse in you have most likely destroyed something, especially if you smell burning.
