I dont think so, but you could try an ecu reset by disconnecting the battery for 15 mins. Failing that a replacement relay would be my next step.  :smiley:

thats well odd. do they turn off when you turn the switch off or do you have to turn off the ignition to kill them?how far
if they turn on nd off ok this it what id do.
take off the wipers from their spindles, and set them going. turn them off. once they park put the wiper arms back on and see if it fixes it
