My Possessed Rear Wiper Blade.

[yoyo13131]

Whenever I turn right hard my rear wiper blade turns on and shuts off when I'm going straight again.... what would cause something like this? my left turn signal blinks really really "Fast" most of the time too. I've looked at all the wiring that's visible and don't see anything abnormal. both rear blinker bulbs have the exact same model numbers too. ??

Mentioning the turn signal i'm not sure what you mean unless you meant to add the word"fast"

but anywho... Have you checked all of your fuses?

Yeah all my fuses are fine, my rear wiper+front wipers+windshield washer pump fuse has blown twice so far (there all on the same fuse)... could a short cause the rear wiper blade to turn on?

well i dunno about that wiper issue but if your blinker is off the fritz, it could be because your front blinker is out or your relay has gone nuts.

Not sure about the wiper but i had something similar happen with my taillights. the wiring to one of the lights was cut and just touching enough to not have any problems until the bulb burnt out. replaced the bulb then everytime i turned the lights on the fuse would blow.

i know your talking about the wiper, but still electrical and its not like a light that will just burn out eventually. might want to check your wiring. i had to take off about 3 inches worth of electrical tape and oem tubing to find the wire that caused my problem.

start at the source (for you that would be the wiper itself) for me i started at the actual light itself. then just work forward from there.

This is very true. More likely that the light went out. it should blink faster on one side than the other. Check all of your lights on the side that is faster and replace it. that should be the problem. also... with how some of our cars are wired and circuited, the blown bulb could be the reason the wiper goes off (assuming they are on the same open circuit)

The reason your light blinks really really fast is because not all your lights are working on that side therefore it takes less volts to power less lights so it will blink a lot faster. have someone get in your car and run through all the light positions while you look from the outside.

As for the wiper blade it sounds like you have a short. Look for any lose wiring that might be split open or frayed and see if its grounding out anywhere on the body or frame. when you take a hard turn it may be leaning far enough to touch something and close the circuit causing your wiper to come on.

Thanks for all your guys help, I think my blinker might be my relay since all of my blinker lights work, just my left blinkers blink really fast "most" of the time. I'll take off the panel to look at the wiper motor itself to see if I can see any wiring that's grounding.
