TLS - Wiper won't turn Off

Guys,

My TLS wiper wont turn off. I have changed the wiper switch thinking that was the problem but still wiper wont turn off unless I switch the engine off.

What could be the problem? I am out of ideas now.

swap the wiper `relay` with another of the same color to test its function

power comes from the fuse box, goes thru a relay- then to its destination

Where is the location of the Wiper relay? I see a fuse box at the driver side with relays but not sure which one is the wiper relay. I am I looking at the correct spot for the relay?

Hey TyBran, the windshield wiper intermittent relay is located within the driver's side underdash fuse panel.
It should be labeled #12 (30A) in the upper left corner of the box, 2nd row.
It's a different relay than most of the others.

Where has Acura Engineers hidden this relay?!!. I am looking at the fuse panel above the foot rest but can't find any relay . The car is 03 TLS.

Hmmm, the fuses are in there....#7 & 9 (7.5A). Did you look on the back of the panel for a relay ?
The other place that it would be logically located is underhood on the driver's side behind the strut tower.
