I am having a problem with the wiper switch. It works fine but the
problem is when its in the off position and I hit a bump in the road
or sometimes turn the steering wheel or use the directionals the
wipers will wipe once or twice on there own. It is worse on rainy
humid days. Anyone know if this is fixable or do I need a new swich or
what.

You need to replace the stalk with the switch in it.

You have moisture on the circuit board in the box that houses the wiper
motor. Remove the single screw that holds the cover on and hit the inside
with an air hose. Did you by chance use a garden hose at one point to clean
out the front compartment? That is what happened to me once. The problem
went away once I dried out the circuit card and put the cover back on. For
some reason they chose not to use a gasket on that cover.

Whats a stalk ?
No I did not hose it out BTW my 85 SE has the same problem only worse.
It happens alot when using the turn signal which means it must be the
switch on the colume.

Hank,
The stalk is the cluster of controls that protrudes from the left side
of the steering column. The only electrical circuits in the stalk are
related to the two cruise control switches. The wiper circuits are inside
the steering column. It is unusual to have this problem with one car let
alone two. The stalk must be taking a beating in those two cars. Anyhow, you
may need to pull the steering wheels to get at the circuits. It is also
possible that the screws that anchor the circuit assembly to the column have
come loose. That can result in intermittent functions.

Yes maybe something became loose I will take apart the SE as I hardly
ever drive it now to see if that is the case.
Thanks
Hank
