Default Wipers Stuck On

Parked my happy ass in the car this morning only to find my wipers were out of control.

They are stuck on for some reason. Had to pull the fuse so the dam things would shut off. I read that the Z06 had this issue, but I can't find out why. (Can't get to CorvetteForum at work, blocked)

Anyone know where I'd find the relay/switch so I can replace/test it?

No clue... but it did happen to me for the first time this weeked. I was playing around w/ trail braking into turn 4 at VIR and slid off track right... I smacked the wiper stalk and then the wipers wouldn't go off. I got back in the pits and it started working correctly. I turned the car off, then on again, and tested all wiper modes, all worked fine.

Yeah, I tried punching the column a few times and wiggling the control around and it laughed at me and spit water at the windshield.

Rude fucker.

Hit the wiper fluid button which will may help as it'll do the 3 wipes than park. Not sure where the relay is located on that car (yet) but that's likely the problem and will need to be replaced. Any car manual (Haynes, Chilton, GM, etc) should have a relay panel box. Most cars it's under the hood somewhere near the battery or in a kickpanel. Look for a 6"x4"x2" black plastic box.

On the way to work I ripped that button out at the end of the stalk, but I haven't put the fuse back in to see if that fixed the problem.

I heard something about the drain being clogged or something as well... not sure what that's all about yet.
