Wipers won't turn off, so either it is the switch or the circuit board by the motor. Which is more likely?
Can you tell me step by step how to remove the switch from the steering column? I can't figure out how to get the cover(s) off from the underside.

You would have to test which is causing the problem.

What is the speed that the wiper is working on?
Are you able to change the wiper speed?
