    Strange lights/ wiper issue

    Need suggestions on where to start looking for the problem.....


    Occasionally, if I have any exterior lights on (parking, fog/driving or headlights), or use the turnsignals or flashers and hit a bump, my wipers will come on.
    At first I thought it might be the multi-function switch for the lights. Replaced that and still have the problem.
    For now I've rigged up a switch to manually turn off the wipers until I get this figured out.
    I managed to find a schematic of the wiring system, so I can atleast know what color wires I'll need to trace to see if there's wires crossed somewhere, but figured that just maybe someone else had a similar issue so I can avoid that.

    OK.... update time....
    Wipers were still coming on occasionally when any lights were on.
    Friday, coming home from work, I noticed that something wasn't right. Jeep seemed to lack power.
    Went out and about on Saturday and had a strong feeling the cat was shot.
    Took it to a shop. Had them replace the plugs, coil pack (it was original w/ 130k miles) replace muffler and tail pipe and clean the fuel system.
    They seemed to think the cat was OK. I took their word on that.
    Left the shop. Still no power. Took it back. They cut the cat out. The guts were just wobbling around inside of it.
    New cat installed and NOW the Jeep is A.O.K!!!
    Here's the strange part..... All that work was done Sunday afternoon. Since then the wipers haven't come on with any of the lights???!!!
    Guess my Jeep was trying to tell me that things needed fixed!!
