Sometimes the ignition switch can cause these types of symptoms. Have you ever replaced the ignition switch? Just a thought. I have a '97 and the old ignition switch caused a lot of weird stuff on my Box.

I found more information about the ignition switch. I should change it before more problems occur.
but if any one has more information about the wiper would be helpful.
thanks, everyone.

I have not used the windhield washers in a long time. Maybe someone knows if the wipers stop moving while the washer is on, I don't remember.
