97 Explorer Windshield Wiper Problem! Need Help?

Hello all? New to the forum and I am having a time with this problem. I just replaced my multi-function switch because of a headlight problem. Installed new switch and fixed the headlight prob but now windshield wipers will not shut off. As soon as connector was attached wipers took off. Also turning the wipers on only causes my washer to spray water on the windshield. Could this be a bad switch or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the wrong multi-switch. I have been told there are 2 or 3 switcks. get the part number and call a nother part store and see if the part numbers are the same.
