99 Ford Ranger, windshield wipers turn on by themselves while driving. Now wont turn on at all. Seems to be a driving hazard if your driving in the rain and they quit!!

(1) the windshield wipers will turn on by themselves while I am driving the vehicle when I have not activated them. I may be traveling at 20 to 65 mph, sitting at a stop light, or turning at an intersection or corner, and the wipers just come on by themselves. (2) this event has occurred 2 - 3 times per week since 2007 and the consequence is that both wipers scrape across a dry windshield leaving tracks on the windshield. As I only have approximately 100,000 miles on the vehicle, these incidents began when I only had approximately 75,000 to 80,000 miles on it. (3) to stop the wipers, I pull over to the side of the road, turn off the engine and than restart the vehicle--this does not always work. The other is to put the wipers on fast speed for a couple of seconds and turn the wipers off. And this "solution" does not always work. At times during rain, when I first turn the wipers on, they will not turn on at all. I turn the wiper knob off and than put on high speed than back the speed down to get them working. A professional repair has not been made up to this date as I would like to know if this is a manufacturer's defect.
