wipers acting up

Hi Guys
this morning driving into work my wipers starting acting up. They were working fine and all of a sudden stopped 1/2 way across the windshield, moved the switch on again off again and now they seem ok. it only has 50000km on it. has anybody else experienced this?

The wipers are controlled by hundreds or thousands of line of s/w code. That said they may do odd things. There are some existing threads on this.

Read some threads, there is a module that goes bad and causes erratic behavior. At one point IIRC, there was an update that fixed some of the code that controls the wipers too (but that may have just been in the F150 - I had a "brand new" rental F150 about 4 years ago that had this issue)

If you are under warranty I would get the dealer involved, that way you are not chasing parts. If you are out, read up, pick one of the solutions and run with it, hopefully it fixes your issue) You also didn't post WHAT you are driving, year, model, trim.

Sorry, its a 2014 superduty 6.7 50000km's Its been raining here last few days it hasn't happened again, I am wondering if just shutting the truck off and starting it again might have cured the "glitch"

Computer reboots have fixed issues before... if it cones back quick it's obviously something else.
