Hey y’all. As of today, my radio doesn’t turn off when the keys are removed from the ignition as it’s usually does and my windshield wiped won’t go into park mode and are struggling just to make it across the windshield. I’ve replaces fuses as needed and that’s hasnt helped. Any ideas?

You need to see if the ignition switch ACC contacts are opening when the key is in the OFF position. See if other accessories like the windows operate with the ignition OFF.

Check to see if the wiper motor is getting full 12 volts to it while the motor is working. If is okay then you need to make sure that nothing is hindering the operation and may need to replace the motor.
