Do you need to change the wind shield wipers if you turn them on and they wont stop unless you turn off the car even when put on delay?

The problem is in the on/off/delay switch. Its very common for this to happen. If you are mechanically minded, you can fix it your self. Usually where the switch rotates and makes contact to work the delay either gets dusty and no contact is made or the plastic body breaks off inside and the inner part just rotates with the outer part and the contact is never lost, so they stay on all the time. If this is an older car, just run a toggle switch to the dash from the wire that feeds the windshield motor. This will give you on or off options, no delay. If not mechanically capable, take it to a garage and they should be able to fix it.

Is there a separate relay or fuse for the intermittent delay for the wipers on a 97 jetta your hi and lo wipers work but not the delay?
the delay on jetta wipers is different. the delay is adjustable. if someone set the delay very long, you will think the delay is not working. here's how to shorten the delay. turn the wipers to delay (one click DOWN on the stalk). immediately turn it back off and now turn it back on. the delay is the length of time you had the wipers off between the two on's. for a 3 second delay, turn the wipers to delay, immediately turn them off, wait three seconds and turn them back on. for a 6 second delay, turn them on, immediately turn them off, wait 6 seconds and turn them back on.

Does the windshield wiper switch on a 1998 Chrysler town and country contain the delay mechanism or is it a separate unit?
I'm figuring that this is the same as my 1999 town and country, and I just replaced the wiper switch.. It was easy, and it cost 76.00, and it also had NO effect on the operation of the delay in the wipers. Incidentally, I was trying to fix the delay - What my vehicle does is the delay will work about 4 times, then the wipers "jump" slightly, and the delay no longer works. you have to cycle the wiper switch on and off to get them to go again. Good luck!
