    I don't know how this happened, but my wiper blades won't shut off. I had to pull the fuse to prevent it from constantly going back and forth. It's going to start being a problem with winter coming around the corner. Any ideas to why its like that?

    FWIW, even though I think it's unrelated, I was releasing the handbrake (6-spd M/T) and it didn't go down all the way. So I gave it a little force and pushed it down. As soon as I did that, the wipers started and didn't stop. Is there something down behind there that's connected to the wipers?

    TIA

    It looks like it probably is related as per what you said. Have you looked under the dash in the area to see what May Have Happened? My "guess " is that a wiring harness was sagging and got caught on the bottom of the Parking Brake handle rod and when you forced it down the wiring was damaged causing the wipers to run.
