Why would front windshield wipers not turn off?
An electric motor needs 2 primary things for it to run. First, it needs power, second, it needs a ground to complete the electrical circuit. Normally this is controlled by the switch... In this case the wiring diagram needs to be compared to the physical condition of the wiring. If the on/off switch opens/closes the ground, then there is an alternate ground in the circuit probably due to a broken wire. If the on/off switch opens/closes the power, then there usually would be a short in the on/off switch, and the power is spanning the switch. .. Goog luck..
What is An example of a short circuit?
A short circuit is one that is characterized by extremely low resistance. This will result in the extremely dramatic increase of current. High current will flow until a safety device opens the circuit, or the weakest link in it burns out. And one of the two usually occurs in a moment or two.==Short Circuit happens when the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.
How much current a relay coil can withstand?
There are basically two parts to a relay. The control voltage side when energized passes a current through a coil that activates a solenoid and opens or closes a switch. This is typically a small current. The current in the switch should be rated on the device and is usually quite a bit higher than the control current.

What is a electromechanically relay?
A relay is an electronic switching device that opens or closes a circuit. An electromechanical relay would be one that is opereated remotely using an electrical circuit that mechanically operated the relay, which in turn opens/closes the second ciruit.
