Why won’t my windshield wipers turn off?
No matter how I move the lever, my wipers are stuck in the ON position. I can’t drive to work on a sunny day without the wipers moving! Why won’t my windshield wipers turn off?

That’s so annoying! The likely reason why your windshield wipers won’t turn off is a faulty park switch.
The park switch is the component that tells the blades to stop at the bottom of the windshield. In some vehicles, the park switch is built right into the wiper motor. In the case of a faulty switch, you’d have to get the entire wiper motor replaced.
Bad wiring is a job for the professionals. We recommend that you book an appointment ASAP with a mechanic to fix your wipers.
While this repair may take up to an hour, it only takes 45 seconds to save money on your
car insurance
. You can use the free Jerry
app from your smartphone while you sit in the waiting room. Compare rates and switch to a cheaper rate in just a few taps.Good luck with your windshield wipers!
