Last week i changed the wiper motor in my 03 envoy, now having some weird syptoms. First, as soon as i finished, when i started the truck, the headlight washers would spray automatically. Next day when i shut off the car, the radio and lights stayed on even when i opened the doors with keys out. Ok... What the heck. Now today, the service airbag light came on! What is going on with the electrical? The wipers work now, but any insight on the aftermath please??

"Could" be time for an ignition switch. They cause all sorts of electrical gremlins.
Did you make sure that the replacement wiper motor came from a truck with headlight washers? The circuits for the sprayers run through the wiper motor.
The other symptoms are definitely pointing to the ignition switch as the others mentioned. But I don't know of any way that could cause the sprayer to go off. I think you have 2 problems.

Hmm.... Im actually not sure if the replacement motor is intended for headlight washers. I got it from rock auto and it is made for intermittent wipers, thats all i know. And to be more specific, the headlight washers dont always spray lol. Just one of the weird things that has happened since replacing. The main issue at the moment is the service airbag light is on in the dash?
You would need to get the ABS code read to be sure, which can only be read with a high end scanner or a Bluetooth OBD interface and Car Gauge Pro (Android)
