Unhappy HELP!!! My wipers are stuck on!?!?!

The wipers are not turning off...
they will go to the fast speed, but will not go to intermident or off
I havent driven the car in 3 weeks,
and for some reason thee wipers have gon on the fritz

Has anyone had a similar experience?
Or maybe have some ideas as to what could have caused it?
thanks for any starting pointers

Your car is too low and your tires have made contact with the wire harness under your front fender. You might want to take off your front wheels and take a look under there to see any exposed wires.

holy **** how did u get those wheels to fit your SC? do u have any more pics?

and about the wiper motors. definatly check under your tires most likley the driver side. wires might be eaten up by it rubbing on the tire.

Either the wires are exposed or moisture is getting into the relay/wires. Usually happens when it is wet/damp?

You killed the harness under your driver fender.

That's weird, I have the same problem but it happened after I relocated the harnesses. Maybe I need to take a look at them again.

I read about this issue twice before. Everything points to the harness.

Side note: That is a SICK looking SC.

Temporary fix would be to pull the fuse that controls the wipers.
