Have 2 seperate problems with my 97 Intrepid, but maybe they are related.

The bright headlights came on without the switch being turned on, and would not shut off. Then after a few moments they went off on their own, and now I have no daytime running lights at all. The head lights work fine, in both high and low beam though. I found the drl fuse in the power centre was blown, so I replaced it. Immediately the highbeam lamps came back on, without no keys, or switch turned on! So for now I have unplugged the fuse.

2nd part is weird too.
Since then, my wipers only work is a really slow mode, slower than normal even. No high, low or intermediate speeds, just slower than slow.
I changed the wiper speed relay, no success, still the same.

Are the two systems hooked into the same possible control mod, and where is it located on the car?

Your wiring harness that has a short, or you have a bad system ground.
