85 Carrera Wiper issues

I had my car detailed... afterwards my wipers in the off position will turn on for one swipe about every 20 seconds...

Anyone experienced this?

Thanks for your help.

Mine is an 88 and it has a separate switch for the intermittent wipers. It is a knob between the tach and speedo. If yours has one, I bet it is on. It's a pot and the turn controls the interval.

Your intermittent wiper switch is on.

And I just noticed on the drive home it is between the speedo and clock, not speedo and tach. My mistake.
