Sounds like you have some knowledge of electrical.Might need to do a continuity test of wires to be sure none of them have melted together or shorted. Is that a Multi-function switch on the column?

Wires are all intact with no apparent shorts. There is no multifunction switch on the column, it is on the dash. The wiring doesn't go through the column it has an independant circuit. That is why I am puzzled. There is a white wire on the switch, which I am assuming is the ground wire. What else can it be?

After going back and rechecking everything, I took the switch out of the dash and disconnected the ground wire. The windshield wipers still turn on with the key in the on position irrespective of the switch position. I don't understand this senerio. I have replaced all of the parts and the system still doesn't work. Could it be possible that I got a bad switch? I double checked the ground and no luck. What would you do in this situation??

Is there a relay in the circuit? It could have a bad/ rusty ground. Ohm the switch. :idea:
