Wipers flip when I turn key in ignition!!!
Anybody have any ideas about this? It's done this for 9 years and it's about time I fix it. When I turn my car on the windshield wipers flip once. It's usually not a problem but every once in a while in GA we get a freeze with ice on the windshield. I'm worried that if it can't move it'll burn out the wiper motor. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Other guys might chime in, but I believe it is the wiper motor going bad when this happens.

Re: Wipers flip when I turn key in ignition!!!
it might be the switch or wiring conception before I rewired my truck and added a universal wiper switch I would hit a bump and the wipers would turn on for one revolution and stop

Re: Wipers flip when I turn key in ignition!!!
I have a feeling it could be either of those. I forgot to mention that if I do have the wipers on for a while and turn them off, sometimes minutes later, they'll go for another revolution. I wonder if it has something to do with the delay wiper knob/setup possibly.

LOL i thought mine were the only ones that did this! doesnt do it every time, but every once in a while, when I turn on the ignition, the wipers will start up. Ijust turn the wiper knob on then off and they stop.
