Subject: 2006 Town Car

The wife was telling me during dinner the wipers on the Town Car came on magically today while she was driving. They wouldn't shut off. She stopped for an errand and they shut off when the car shut off and did not come back on magically when she returned to the car to come home.

Great, I'm thinking a short somewhere or possibly a bad multi-function switch.

Following dinner, I proceeded to take out the garbage and heard this thump-thump in distance. I went to investigate and found the Town Car sitting in the driveway with the wipers cheerfully running. The radio was on as well.

I returned to the house to get the keys and a flashlight. Looking in the owners manual, I located the fuse for the wipers and that successfully stopped the wipers. I had to pull the delayed accessory circuit breaker to get the radio to go off.

I'm not even sure where to begin. :confused:
