Windshield Washer Pump Won’t Stop

Short answer: A washer pump that runs whenever the wipers are on (without pressing the button) is usually a mechanical problem in the pump, not electrical — typically a worn gear or the pump needing a slight positional adjustment. There isn’t much adjustment room, but it’s a mechanical fix; swapping the wiper/washer switch won’t cure it.
