Automotive/Faulty windshield wipers

Question
I went to work today during a rain storm and the wipers were working fine, left to go home and now they won't stop unless I turn off the ignition and even then i can here a switch clicking on and off near the glove box. I tried taking the fuse out and they still wouldn't stop, what makes it weird is that when I use the wiper fluid it turns on the power locks! I drive a 93 Chrysler Lebaron. Now there is another fuse box in the engine compartment with one designated for the wipers but I figured i would go ahead and post something before I disconnect the battery. Please help if you can

Answer
Adam,
  I have been sitting here for 45 minutes typing a response to you and AllExperts went nuts and I lost everything!!
  The bottom line was I'm not a Tech as stated in my Profile.
  You need to find an EXCELLENT Tech to diagnose an electrical problem. You may even look at a Chrysler Dealership as they may have gotten a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) on this problem. At $70.00 per hour, you don't need some Rookie working on your vehicle. Electrical problems are the most frustrating problems on a vehicle unless you can find someone that is REALLY good at them..
  Good luck. Stay safe and warm this weekend. I hope this helped a bit. With loosing all I had typed, AllExperts didn't help me at all.

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
