How to Keep Car Wipers Running Continuously?
2 Answers
If you want the wipers to run continuously, set the button to INT for automatic intermittent operation. After this adjustment, the wipers will work automatically without manual intervention. You can also set the wipers to HI gear for automatic high-speed operation. Alternatively, set the wipers to LO gear for automatic low-speed operation. To stop the wipers from working, simply set them to the OFF gear.
A couple of days ago, my old car had the same issue where the wipers just wouldn't stop. The most common cause is the wiper switch getting stuck in the ON position and not springing back, especially when it's been used too forcefully. Then there's the control relay—if the contacts inside get fused, it's like directly grounding the circuit. When I checked the fuse box, I found that a short circuit was causing the motor to continuously receive the activation signal. The worst is when the wiring harness under the steering wheel gets frayed and grounds out—last time, the mechanic spent ages with a multimeter to find the leakage point. If the electronic control module gets waterlogged, it can also start sending random commands. That day, I had to remove the wiper arms completely before daring to drive, as the obstructed view was just too dangerous.
