Well I've got a new problem that just popped up.
Wipers don't go on by themselves, but the windshield washer does. Runs even when the wipers aren't on.
Intermittent problem, had it happen again last night.
Anybody else ever had similar situation??

Quit drinking that blue beer! Youre imagining things :loco:
Think the ocassional accidental discharge of "wiper fluid" might be in direct relation to the age of your "wiper blades"? :dunno: I got nothing, I fail.

Your multifunction switch could be going bad. Contacts in the switch could be the problem.

You know of any way I could do a quick check on this?

I had it happen about 3 years ago. Clear sunny day driving back from PHL with amy Aunt and the washers just started going, and going.
Finally the motor in the pump burned out:mad:
