Welcome mjdangler to irv2.
If you have been driving through a rain storm remove the connecting plug and dry out when rain stops place some di-electric grease on plug connections replug and tape up seam of plug.
If you have a Workhorse chassis you may want to take a look at this thread.

mjdangler,

We had the problem 007 describes - water in the connecting plug. I installed a retainer to lift the connector higher up under the dash out of the air flow and I applied dielectric grease to solve the problem.

The other thing that can cause the problem, especially if the wipers won't shut off even if it isn't raining, is the wire is shorted - usually where it exits the steering column.
