The wipers started with comming on by themselves and then shuting off, then it went to running all the time with no delay or high/low speed. I pulled the fuse to stop them...Is it the wiper motor or the switch in the stearing column?
Thanks Lloyd

I had the same issue, with the same year CTS. The Caddilllac certified dealership diagnostic report said that my wiper motor had gone bad, costing me $500
