1997 Wramgler Sport - front windshield wipers
While driving down the highway, my front windshield wipers operate
intermittantly and start moving without any activation of the steering
column wiper lever. Could this be a defective steering column wiper
switch, wiper relay or possibly an electrically short.
Thanks for any recommendation of how to repair......... Merry
Christmas ...... !

Most likely, a defective relay. Difficult to test unless you can unplug
and isolate the switch wiring from the relay itself without
disconnecting the relay's power supply. I used to have a horn relay
that liked to go off now and then, and often when I was driving behind a
cop. Finally, one day it went off in my own driveway while the car was
parked, and I had to pull the horn wires to make it shut up. Changing
the relay was a permanant fix.

Re: 1997 Wramgler Sport - front windshield wipers
I think you need to start troubleshooting by finding out how to stop the
wipers after they start by theirself. Without any additional information, my
guess is the Combo Switch that operates the wipers, turn signals, and high
beams.
