I searched and nothing conclusive... Wipers come on when I start the 3.2?
I have a 1986 3.2 and when I start the car, or even turn the ignition to the pre-start mode the wipers come on automatically and do a few passes. I checked the intermittent wiper switch on the dash and it is off. I confirmed it is working correctly. Any other ideas or links to "fixes" would be welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Andrewhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1462193135.jpg |
mine does this too, or should I say my wipers will occasionally make a few swipes when driving.
pulled the fuse unless needed. also my high beams are on most of the time. I had replaced both some years ago ... sigh... need to pull both switches from the steering column and fix. I have seen the fix for the high beams, and suspect the fix for the intermittent wiper action will be the same. need to slightly bend the little contact. here are a couple links I saved for fixing the high beam issue. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/248149-turn-signal-switch-quick-fix-pictures.html http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/258555-headlight-dimmer-repair.html good luck. |
Check how clean the ground wires are at the post just in front of the battery.

turn signals, drove me crazy! Traced everything down with an ohmmeter and a wiring diagram, found a floating ground at the body ground mounting point from the battery negative to the inner left fender. The floating ground found a path thru the windshield washer motor, causing intermittent wiper swipe! Grounding problems can cause WEIRD problems! I took off and cleaned all the wires under the grounding nut, several of them were quite corroded. Get a can of DeOxit D5 and use every time you rehookup any electrical connection. It cleans,deoxidizes, seals and protects electrical connections, it's awesome stuff! Amazon.com: CAIG DeOxit Cleaning Solution Spray, 5% spray 5oz: Everything Else |
Fixed!
Thanks for the ground tip. SPOT ON! Much appreciated
