okay so i bought a 1994 ford explorer and everything seemed to be working great. a couple days ago it started rainin and i obviously had to use the wipers. well needless to say, my wipers arent turning off. the switch says off but they are still on and i cant seem to find a way to get them to turn off, can anyone help me with this problem?

wow, does that sound familiar. i had a 94 ranger that had the same problem. in my truck it was the switch in the steering colum. try turning the wipers to high and then back to off real fast. if the wipers turn off, its that switch. there is a rod that runs the length of the wiper control to the switch in the colum. the plastic piece the rod drives inside the switch rounds out and stays at the lowest intermintint position. with my truck, a new switch was about $90. the epoxy i filled the hole with then inserted the rod back into cost about 1 cent. hope this helps.
