trenton163 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yesterday, I started my car and the rear wiper started going, even though it was turned off. I turned it on and off and it stopped, but after driving for a little bit it started going again, no matter what the switch was on. The only way for me to get it to stop was to pull the fuse. So I correct in thinking that its the switch thats bad? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehuntersam Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I haven't had it happen to me but, when I pulled my out a while back I remember the whole thing just fell apart in my hands. So, be careful when pulling out. A bad relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This happened to me once this summer, I pulled the fuse as I didn't have time to diagnose properly and when I put it back in it was fine and hasn't done it since. Damn electrical gremlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRich Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I never had the rear do this but my front wipers did. The problem was cracked solder joints in the little box that is mounted on the wiper motor. I took it apart and resoldered the bad connections and now the intermittent setting works again also. Check the wiring diagram to see if the rear wiper has one of these boxes, I think its called an amplifier? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenton163 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Okay, I poped the fuse back in and it stopped, but then when I tried to turn it on and off again it would just stay on.tried a couple of times with the same outcome. This weekend Im gonna take off the panel and see if everything has good connections. I looked on the fsm and there is a "amplifier" back there. Thanks all for the help guys!

Hmm if all else fails you could try a bigger fuse fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
