Marco Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I've worked on my electrics and ended up with a funny problem... every time I switch on the lights my wipers make one turn. It's just one turn and once only (next time it does not happen). Also a signal with main beam meant for another Landy driver is accompanied by waving the wipers! Not sure what can cause the interaction, guess some loose wires or bad connection, except a new wiper motor nothing has been changed. Does somebody know the (possible) answer why the wiper motor is being triggered by the light switch? Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Bad earth perhaps? Usually the cause of systems interacting that shouldn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 One circuit affecting another is nearly always an earth fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thanks guys, I will focus on loose earth connections, maybe it's an earth wire connected to my timer relay which is behind the dash. Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonost24 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 What's wrong with that. I'm pretty sure it was an optional extra at the factory. Most modern cars offer auto wipers as standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most modern cars offer auto wipers as standard I've often seen drivers of new cars signal by flashing their windscreen wipers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Sorted, it turned out to be one of the relay wires connected to a 12v plug, probably operated by the light switch. Just disconnected it and all (still) fine. Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
