What is the reason why the Maserati wiper keeps working and cannot be turned off?
2 Answers
If the car wiper cannot be turned off, it should be a problem with the wiring. It could be that the combination switch is broken, or there might be damage to the wiring where the negative terminal of the wiper is connected to the car body. The power source of the wiper comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. It is recommended to go to a 4S store or an auto repair shop for handling. Below is some related information about wipers: 1. Wiper classification: Wipers can be divided into mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric types according to their driving methods. Modern cars generally use electric wipers, which have the advantages of simple structure and convenient control. Generally, car wipers consist of a motor, crank, transmission rod, wiper arm, and wiper blade. 2. Wiper function: The wiper is a device used to wipe off raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield to improve the driver's visibility and increase driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all cars everywhere are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of vehicles such as hatchbacks and SUVs are also equipped with wipers.
I've encountered similar issues before. When driving my old car, the wipers wouldn't stop, and it took me a while to fix it. For a Maserati with wipers that won't turn off, the most common cause is a stuck or faulty wiper switch. The internal spring or contacts may be worn or stuck, causing continuous power supply. Another common issue is a stuck relay due to aging—it's like a small switch responsible for controlling the current flow, and if it gets dirty or rusty, it may remain in the on position. Additionally, circuit problems, such as a short circuit causing abnormal current flow, could be the culprit. First, try turning off the engine and restarting the vehicle, as this can sometimes reset the system automatically. If that doesn’t work, open the hood and check the wiper fuse in the fuse box—temporarily removing it can force the wipers to stop, but don’t drive too fast as it may affect visibility. Safety is paramount, so take it to a professional repair shop as soon as possible. Maserati's sophisticated electronic components shouldn’t be tampered with, as it could worsen the damage. Uncontrolled wipers might also scratch the windshield, so addressing the issue promptly will save you trouble.
