    So I just started my Grand Prix last weekend and when it started I noticed the Windshield wipers kept moving, fully, and I couldn't control them. Probably a ghost or something! You think someone knows what the solution could be? Would like to insure it soon and take it out now that spring is near!

    If the switch on the turn signal stalk isn't bad, then it's likely the module that is attached to the motor. They are known to go bad and have funky behavior when they get wet (seals let go).

    It's fairly easy to source one from a JY and toss it in.

    Actually something was being weird when I put it up, sometimes they wouldn't go completely down they would stay half way when I used the wipers lol
