My windshield wipers just flip on once in awhile. There apears to be no aperant reason. Some time its just once, and then the last time it did like 3 times right in a row. I didnt turn anything on or touch anything to make me think that theres a short with somthing else....Any ideas.
MF switch. Known issues with the multifunction switch on the steering column, (turn signal lever with the wiper controls.) I haven't had to repair this part, but there are quite a few threads about this with instructions on how to change/repair it.
You can probly live with the problem for a while but it will get worse. The MF switch also controls the headlights. When my switch went bad it was a progressive thing. First I would have to play with the switch for my lights to work, then my low beams quit working all together.
There was a recall on the wiper motor cover a few years back. It has the wrong dielectric grease in the cover and can short and make the wipers come on. I had mine changed they just put a new cover on it.
