Funny thing happened to me recently. My wiper motor, and washer fluid
pump turns on automatically when the car is running. I'm thinking it may
be a faulty multi-function switch on the steering column.
Any other thoughts on what might be causing this to happen ?

I agree with you. Possible short or dirt grounding out the contacts. Have fun cleaning it.

I think I found the problem, wiper control module.
