Wipers have a mind of there own??
Every time I turn on my ignition, my wipers cycle a few times like I have hit the squirters. You know how if you just tap the windshield wiper squirt button, your wipers cycle a few times.
This is everytime I turn on the ignition ![]() The previous owner said there may be a short in the wiper switch? I have bought a new wiper, cruise, turn signal lever, but I just wanted to run this by the group before I tear into my steering column.

this seems to be a regular accurance on our trucks... my truck use to keep going after you turned them off.. replaced the switch.. not they will cycle about ever 12 min while driving contiuously..sometimes...rarely its hard to make it stop... a bad ground i believe.. but never taken the time to look into it.. its funny to see peoples faces when my wipes just start going and my hands done move.. they think my truck has a Demon! LMAO

can I join in too? I just replaced my switch and lever, and still have NO wipers at all. I replaced the switch mainly because my turn signals didn't work correctly and my lever was broken. Unfortunately this didn't fix my problem of no wipers.

Sounds like some of you have bad motors to me, especially Ryan.

Hey! Welcome to the club! From what I have come up with it is one of two things: the delay control module is fried or the windshield washer pump is dead (if you unplug it, it causes more problems). I'm going to replace both. I'm tired of my windshield being streaky!!!!!

well luckily here in Yuma, it doesn't rain much at all. But I'm going to have to see if the motor is getting power or not when the switch is turned on, and then go from there. Personally I think that the new arm I just installed isn't the correct one. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon.

Its the module under the steering column. Little black box with
