Whenever I put the windshield wipers to high speed they will not turn off until I turn the car off. I have also noticed that once in a while when I start the car the wipers come on for one cycle and then turn off. Any thoughts on where I should start looking for the problem?

Hi there, Maybe a faulty relay or switch I would think. If you don't know wich relay it is, you could try switching the wipers on and off and see which one clicks.

It's very likely that it's this problem but on the wiper stalk:

long story short, the switch is dirty, blast some air in there to clean it up. If htat doesn't work, take the switch apart and clean.
