window wipers go on randomly?
I have a 2001 xj and recently the front and rear wipers would go on randomly without touching the switch. Even when they start going they wont shut off even if you play with the switch......eventually they do or I have to pull the fuse out. I swapped out the fuse and switch and its still does the same thing. Any ideas?

Haha but seriously, my first guess would be a loose or faulty fuse so since you have already ruled that out, I'd guess you have a dirty connection somewhere

If it does the problem area is before the point you disconnected. If not, it's after. Keep moving closer to the wiper motor as you find new disconnect points until you isolate it.
Had any wiring harness damage where a couple wires could be shorting together?
