Hello and thank you for using 2CarPros. The first thing I recommend is removing the fuse for the wipers so you can get it to stop. Second, you need to have the whole system scanned for codes. Your concern that you have would indicate a possible Central Electronic Module fault. Maybe corrosion from an undetected windshield glass leak if it has been replaced or maybe leaking sunroof drains at the "A" pillar on the driver side.

If you have had any type of water intrusion I would suspect either one. Unfortunate If it is the CEM, replacing it would require a re-program as well.

Hi,

I noticed we haven't heard from you for a couple of days. Have you been able to make any progress? We're interested in knowing.

Take care,

Joe
