your wiper high/low relay or the wiper on relay may be sticking / faulty. they are both located in the power distribution center (left side of engine compartment).

disconnecting the switch only proves its not the switch at fault..

since relays are known-good and you replaced module already then the wiper motor and circuit board (part of motor) must have closed circuit allowing wipers to run without switch on.
