Well for some reason my stupid wipers are stuck on, I have either medium or wfo! I'm guessing it's the switch on the blinker but is there an easy way to tell if it's that or the motor or something?

IMO it has to be the switch, best way to tell is cut the switch off and test the wire on both sides with a test light.

There is probably a plug under the column for the wiper switch. Try unplugging it rather than cutting wires. If they turn off, then it is the switch. If not, you'll have to keep hunting.
More than likely it's the wiper motor module. It's on the motor itself. Had that happen to my wifes tahoe. Replaced the multifunction (turn signal) and the problem was still there. I changed the cover off the wiper motor and everything is fine now. I was told the circuit board shorts to power if that makes any sense.
Prob the motor. There's a dead spot on the armature that creates a "park position" when you turn off. That's how they stop at the right spot. If it get a corrosion spot there, it causes a bridge for current. which will let it keep running.
I put a switch in the fuse for now so I can at least turn them on and off :rofl: sometimes they'll stay running for a couple swipes and then go back to rest and stay off. I have a parts truck so I guess I'll be tearing some stuff off it this weekend.. thanks guys
