when I hit the turn signal the windshield wipers come on

anybody ever had this problem? and I made sure I'm not accidentally hitting the windshield wiper switch when it happens. I can also wiggle the switch lever back and forth and make the wipers come on (again without actually hitting the wiper switch) i'm guessing it's a problem with the whole turn signal lever and I should just replace the whole thing...

Sounds like your multifunction switch is bad. Here's a link with some detail on changing it.

HI Josh, I'd say it's more than likely a switch issue.

Not a bad job. Check all of the wires near the switch just to make sure none of them look like they have been hot while you're in there.
