Weird wiper issue

Bob Walker · 6th March 2024, 06:45

I everyone is well.
I have an intermittent wiper issue.
Occasionally when I use the wash wipe the washer fluid hits the screen and the wipers automatically sweep the screen but wont stop! If I use the washer fluid again, it will stop!
Is it me or has anyone had this??
Best wishes to all

This happened to me yesterday for the first time funnily enough. It was as you described, I used the wash-wipe but the wipers just kept sweeping back and forth and wouldn't stop until I used the wash-wipe function again.

If I remember correctly, the wipers are controlled by the BCU, so I think a visual inspection of the module and connectors might be in order. I think I'll also check the wiper motor connector.

Thanks Matt
There has been a lot of rain in North Yorkshire so I will have to get my drain rod out and check the phleum tubes are clear! I know my front indicator are full off water!
