Wipers on constant

[Brighouse-gti]

So my wipers are on constant unless I pull the fuse. This topic has been covered many times and have tried various cures but nowt has sorted it yet. Things I've done/checked;
•replaced fuse box
•fitted a new relay
•checked wiring around the wiper motor
•check wiper stalk and surrounding wires
Although it's not a total fail as the wipers still function on full speed even with the relay pulled, its just it can be a bit tedious having to keep switching them on and off manually. So, apart from the above, any suggestions?

Something mIgbo have burnt out and shouted in the loom.

Don't go out in the rain? 

Seriously though. Parking, end switch, not breaking? Wipers will always be looking for the park position.... Maybe?

This may be totally irrelevant but I had the same issue with my old green Corrado. I tried all the obvious remedies as you have but then I found something very strange.

The wipers were fine when the handbrake was on  . It seemed that part of the wiper wiring was connected into the switch that lights up the little LED to let you know that the handbrake is still on. I bypassed the switch and the wipers were fine from then on.

As I say, maybe no use at all but perhaps looking at??

Good suggestion there Andy, as it happens my handbrake light doesn't work, will see if I can find a replacement to see if that sorts it!

Well the handbrake 'on' light didnt fix it, but every cloud and all that, my handbrake 'on' light now works, and as I was messing around in that area I wired in the drivers door speaker too. The wipers problem is still there so any other suggestions welcome, meanwhile I'll just keep pulling out what little hair I have left!!!

Have you tried doing an continuity check on the stalk wiring. It's getting a switch live from somewhere. You could try switching out for a known good fusebox off someone close.
