my friend called me and asked me to help with there truck. they are not able to trun off their windshield wipers and they only go off when the truck is turned off. The only thing i know to do is take out the fuse that runs the windshield wipers however i do not have the truck in front of me an do not know the layout of the truck. are there any other ways to fix this problem and if now then where is the fuse box so i can walk her through what to do.
There is a problem with the wiper's circuit board.
The fuse block access door is on the driver’s side edge of the instrument panel. Pull off the cover to access the fuse block. (looks like you pull on the bottom) You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor which is mounted to the fuse block access door. To remove fuses if you don’t have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the fuse between your thumb and index finger and pull straight out. You may have spare fuses located behind the fuse block access door. These can be used to replace a bad fuse. However, make sure it is of the correct amperage. The fuse for the wipers is in the 3rd row from the top, the middle one of 3, marked WS WPR. Usually this kind of problem is the fault of the park mechanism of the wiper motor itself being faulty, although it's hard to say for sure without a full diagnosis. Basically, once you turn the switch off, the motor has access to power until it shuts itself off, once the wipers are down. It's like the switch supplies a signal rather than a direct control. P.S. not going to be a ground problem. That might keep it from working, but not from stopping. The switch or control module are the other most likely possibilities.
could be one of many problems, first could be the park mode in the motor is broken, second. unit not grounded properly
