Electrical problem
1987 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

When i switch on high beams my wipers start going across the window.this only happens with the key on.I already changed the combination switch,but didn't make a difference.I also checked under dash for bad connections or corroded connections.I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

Hi import racer,

The only explanation that I can think of is the wiper wire is fused with headlight wires and is using the headlight as ground to operate.
