98 accord headlight/windshield wiper problem

I have a 98 accord. about two days ago when I turned on my headlight
switch my wipers came on and contiuned to wipe until I turned the
lights off. Also the left turn signal indicator on the dashboard is
stuck on /left turn signal will not work. Again this is only when the
lights are turned all the way on. no issues when only the parking
lights or no lights are being used. Also when lights are turned on the
drivers side headlight does not come on. the whole light assembly was
replaced about 6 months ago so the light itself should be fine. Any
ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

What do you mean by "whole light assembly"? The left head light, or the
switch? It sounds like wires are crossed in the steering column (less
likely), the switch is bad or something has lost its ground wire.

===============================

If it was replaced as a result of an ACCIDENT, that's an important bit
of info. It does sound like a missing ground connection.

It was replaced due to an accident. I will check all the grounds and
let you all know.

 

I don't know if this may help....Did you
have your ignition switch replaced under the
recall? I had mine done, it was known to cause
strange problems, because the contact did not
have the ability to carry the current needed byu certain
accessories.

 

checked all the ground wires. Sure enough the ground that connects to
the drivers side headlight was loose. thanks to eveybody for your help
