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 ? |

Here is the backside of the switch. You can see there is a washer where the screw will come through. The other 3 do not have this. It must make good ground contact.
