Wiper problems

I have a 2005 F550. I am having a problem with the wipers working whenever they want to. Sometimes they won't come on and sometimes they won't shut off. Sometime they just start going on their own. I've replaced both the wiper motor and the switch. Does anyone know if there is a section of the wiring harness that can be replaced that controls the wipers? Any tips would be most appreciated.

Try replacing the wiper relay.

I'll check that out. Another problem I'm having with the truck is that the brand new batteries die after a day or so after being charged. Not sure if the issues are related but I figured I would put it out there in case.
