Wipers stuck on intermittent
We had a really bad storm go by recently, and now the wipers won't turn off and are stuck on intermittent when in the off position. Low, high, wash, and intermittent positions all work, but stay on intermittent when the switch is in the off position. It's getting really annoying!!!
Haven't dug into it to see where the controls are, but figure they're in the motor unit and not in the dash. Just about ready to order a new motor but wanted to see if anyone else has seen this before

^not sure about the s, but on my neon when I had the same problem, what happened was there was a short somewhere, and there was power going to my WASHER motor. The washer motor somewhere had a input line to the wipers, and the wipers would kick on because it thought the washer was being activated.

The intermittent circuit fires a relay every time it should click. it's either the switch, wiring from the switch to the intermittent relay, or a bad relay. I don't know the circuit of the top of my head, but the helms should help track the problem down.

Thanks guys - The water didn't get into the steering column (I think) so I assumed the wiper motor had flooded out. But I'll start looking up the wiring diagram and tracing wires.
