Exclamation 03 CL windshield wiper issues

Problem: Windshield wipers continue to stay after I turn the switch back to the off position??


Any idea what could be the issue? I'm thinking a bad wiper switch??? I've been having to take the fuse in and out during the rain!

Thanks in advanced...

If they're staying on even though they should be off (aka, the switch is off) then I would suspect the switch. Do your intermittent controls work (can you control the speed?)

Something is completing the circuit, and since when you pop the fuse, they're off - I's supect the stem switch contacts are failing or dirty...maybe disconnected?

Tried a known working switch and it did the exact same thing...

the intermittent controls don't work...it stays one speed for int & II

then III is fast, like it should be, and also when I pull down for mist its fast like it should be, however they will stick whenever they are positioned when i let go of the mist feature....

If I use the wiper fluid, they will stay on..at a slow speed...

It must be 1 of two possible solutions....Wiper Relay or wiper motor.....

anyone know where the wiper relay is located on a 2003 acura cl-s 6 speed?
