Subject:      Re: Wiper turning on by themselves - Any ideas how to fix?

I am getting ready to replace the wiper motor as some suggested that it is
the wiper park switch.  Before I start tearing the dash apart to get to the
wiper motor I was wondering if a bad wiper relay could cause the wipers to
run in the off position.  I took the relay appart and it looked ok.  the
wiper seemed to start working independently of the wiper switch after a
bout 10-15 seconds of turning on the ignition.

Anyone else have this experience?

I'm realy not looking forward to tearing my dash appart.

Thanks
