When a switch is in the off position, it interrupts the electrical circuit, preventing current from flowing through to the connected devices. This means that any appliances or lights controlled by the switch will not operate. In this state, the circuit is open, ensuring safety and energy conservation by stopping the flow of electricity.

Why do the windshield wipers go on and off 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan?

The wiper motor has a switch inside of it. When they are turned off and the wipers go to the down position it trips the switch in the motor that tells the computer they are in the down position. If that switch in the motor is faulty, the wipers are repositioning until the switch is tripped to the off position. THE FIX.... Replace the wiper motor.
