The wipers and headlight dimmers are controlled by the multifunction switch. Mine went bad on my old Plymouth Voyager. It was bizarre: I pulled to switch lights from high beam or low and the wipers came on. I took it apart and cleaned it and greased it with Silglide and it was fine.

What do you mean by “ignition shut off delay”? That sounds like a separate issue.
