The Windshield Wipers Turn On By Themselves

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Some customers may comment the windshield washers turn on by themselves and will run until the fluid is depleted. The cause may be a washer solvent leak from the windshield washer solvent heater. This can result in corrosion developing in the windshield washer solvent heater electrical connector X2 (2008 model year) C2 (2006- 2007 model years) creating a short between the pins.

Inspect the windshield washer solvent heater electrical connector for corrosion or solvent. Correct the solvent leak. Clean or replace the electrical connector as necessary.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
