Saturn SL2 1998 107,000 miles, Once turned on my wipers will not turn off unless I turn off the ignition while they are in the park position, Sometimes it takes a couple of tries. Also the wipers run @ slow, fast, intermittant or whatever they decide when I do have to use them. :twisted: If you think the problem is the Wiper Control Module, Where is it located? Thanks :!:

The wiper control module is built into the wiper motor. They used to be available as a unit but now you have to buy the entire motor assembly. Good luck

Replace the wiper motor assembly. The wiper control module is built into the motor and is no longer sold separately.
