I was driving home this morning and my wipers came on by themselves. Switch was off. I twisted the switch on and off, but they still remain on. I had to pull the fuse when i got home. Anyone have this problem before?

Check the wiper relay. If could be stuck in the activate mode. This is found usually near the battery in a fuse/relay bank.

I looked at the bank of relays next to the battery, but none were marked wiper relay. Would you know exactly where it is? The wiper problem is erratic now. I put the fuse back in to try and see if a bump or what initiates the problem. So far I can't nail it down.

On the Dodge trucks the relays are on the back firewall.
Also, there is a fuse box on the drivers' side left IP with an access door.

None of the relays next to the battery are marked wiper. There are none I can find ion the firewall. There is only the fuse on the drivers side of the dash end. I'm about to put a on/off switch in line.

Have you tested the wiper switch to see if power turns on and off at the output?

Not yet. I have a few things to do in front of that first.

Looks like it could be in the switch. I'm too cheap to buy a new on so I put a fused on/off toggle on the fuse. Works like a charm.
