I have an intermittant relay installed. I continue to get mystery wipes when makiing a sharp turn--not always, just occasionally. These mystery wipes seem to always occur when the windshield has just enough grime to really mess up the view.
OK: Could I be grounding the wiper switch when turning the wheel, or does the intermittant relay just go bonkers and give free wipes at its descetion ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Who's figured this out ? |

Pull the center hub and check your contacts/wires for the wiper switch.
I had the same problem with mine and it was a loose wire closing the circuit when I turned the steering wheel. Mike |

Mike I was thinking that is a strong possibility ; when you say loose wire, which end are you refering to ? |
