Weird Wiper Anomaly

[BasilFawlty]

So yesterday, when I turned on my wipers - the front wipers AND rear wiper came on - even though the switch for the rear wiper was set to off. I tried turning it on and off a few times and the rear wiper seemed to be linked exactly to the main wiper switch. After driving around a while, with the wipers off, I tried it again and the problem went away. Weird.

If you have the “rear wipers on in reverse gear” in the driver assist settings in the instrument cluster, this might be the explanation if you were backing up. Usually it is only a single wipe when active, even if rear wipers are in off position.

Maybe a glitch from that feature if you had that setting enabled while in drive.

f you have the “rear wipers on in reverse gear”

Hmm, that might be it - I'll have to check that setting.

Hmm - I tried to find such a setting and could not find it.

Ah yes, there it is. I’m 99% sure that’s what was going on. A feature I didn’t know I had. Thanks.
