1971 250C W114 Crazy Wipers

I engaged my wipers this morning just to clean the morning dew off the windshield and I could not shut them off. I engaged them by pushing inward for the spray/wipe mode(although i know I would have to pump wiht my foot to get water to squirt), and they never shut off. I ended up pulling the fuse, but what do you all think. Should I condemn the combination switch, or should I look to a relay?

I would suspect the switch. I have not heard of a relay failing this way.

I'd suspect the momentary wiper switch / foot-pedal sticking.

Happy Motoring, Mark
