2008 Chrysler Town and Country 50000 miles

My van has died twice in the past three weeks. I was able to jump start it both times. However, after I jumped it the second time, the windshield wipers went on and the signals won't work. The wipers are even on when they are switched to the OFF position, and they are going any time the van is on. I had a Chrysler repair shop test the battery and it is good. I checked for a blown fuse, but everything is fine there too. I am scheduled to have it in the shop in 6 days (that's the earliest they could get me in!), But I would rather not be driving around looking like a fool in the mean time. Any suggestions? Thanks.

My first guess is a bad ground that is looping power back through the wiper motor to find a ground. Make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight, check the ground to the engine block, check for loose or damaged body grounds.

Let me know what you find.
