Windscreen Wipers Turn On When Switched Off!

[paul_scandrett]

Hi

 

The windscreen wipers on my mk3 (Ghia with rain sensing wipers) come on when switched off. Bizzarely, they come on when the speed is above 25mph and turn off below 25 mph!

 

Disconnected the battery to reset everything and they were ok for a week but now the problem has returned.

 

The dealer changed a module to do with the alarm (under passenger front wheel arch) but this did not fix the problem.

 

All help gratefully recieved.

 

thanks

Paul

how long ago was the module changed?

take it back to them and tell them they hadnt fixed the problem,trouble with the stealers even with the mk3 they seem to change parts and hope for the best.while the poor customer pays for it.

The dealer removed the module and refunded the costs.

 

They say a fix could take 3 days?

Hi,

 

This exact same thing happend to my car (mk3 ghia 2008). It was still under warranty. The dealer chased down the wires and eventually diagnosed it as a relay that was making poor contact. It was situated just above the passenger footwell. Really strange wipers only came on full blast over 25-30 mph. Never occurred since, relay was just pushed home to solve it in this case.

 

Might help, just something else to check.
