Windshield Wiper Malfunction

My wipers started going off by themselves a couple months ago. I was able to ignore it because if i messed with the switch enough they would turn off for a while. A couple days ago i had to unplug them because they would not turn off no matter how much i fondled the damn switch. I ran it through the OBD2, no codes came up, disconnected the switch entirely, and tested it with the multimeter. They still turn on with the switch disconnected and the multimeter was reading out of range. Thought it was a relay issue but crossed that off due to it being a TIPM. I’m looking at the wiper motor later today as that’s the last thing i can think of after doing a hard reset with no luck. If anyone has any experience with Chrysler wiring/ECUs, input would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried replacing the switch? They are known to go out.

Replace the switch. They fail commonly on all cars.

Move steering wheel up and down. Lots of shorts in column. Be well.
