Misbehaving wipers.

Simon240 · 22nd January 2017, 14:42

Hi, I have a Mgzt-t and the wipers seem to have a mind of their own. One turning on the ignition the rear wiper starts and I have to turn the control anti clockwise to get it to stop. On switching off the ignition both front and rear wipers do one sweep - why is this?

Thanks SImon

Have you fitted a radio recently

Or any extras powered from the radio feed ?

As above can be down to a poor earth.

Thanks for the quick replies - no I haven't fitted a new radio but it has an aftermarket one so perhaps the last owner just put up with it. I will have a look at the earth situation - thanks all the same
