Vehicle:
1995 Mustang Coupe, 3.8L 6-cyl, auto

Symptoms:
Wipers run continuously as long as ignition switch is not turned off unless
wiper fuse is removed.
The wipers run at low speed if the switch is in the off position, the
intermittent position or the low speed position.  The wipers run at high
speed if the switch is in the high speed position.

Other:
Wiring looks good.
Circuitry for intermittent operation is in the wiper switch.

Parts Replaced Since Symptoms Appeared:
Wiper Switch
Wiper Motor
Ignition Switch

Please offer any suggestions you might have!  I am baffled!

Thanks for your help!

Problem Solved:
Intermittent function is in a wiper "governor" box that plugs into the
underdash fuse block.  That unin failed.

  Sounds like a ground fault to me.

Since you replaced the switch and motor (assuming the replacement
switch is 100%) it almost looks like you have a short in the wiring
somewhere. Causing the wiper motor to always be 'on'. I suggest using a
volt/multi meter at the wiper switch poles to see if there's voltage
when there should not be. Making sure it is interrupting when it
should. Start eliminating what is not the cause should make it easier
to locate the problem by a process of elimination.
