Question Mystery Wiper

On Occasion, My Wipers Will Cycle Once Or Twice After I Make A Turn. If I Manually Turn Them On And Off, It Will Stop, But May Do It Again Sooner Or Later. Is This A Switch Or Relay Issue??

This is the multifunction switch issue. If you're really patient and have the time, you can take it out, clean it and it may or may not resolve the issue. I'm not that kinda guy, at least with electrical stuff! But anyway, that's more than likely what the problem is.

Mine will do the same, but only when the switch is set to the 3rd, 4th, or 5th notch. Even a bump in the road will cause them to come on. My right turn signal also doesnt work unless I manually hold the lever up...and even then, the steering wheel has to be in the right position.

I've heard that when you tilt the steering wheel, it pulls the wires loose inside the steering column causing these problems.
