What to do if the rear wiper of Audi A3 keeps wiping?
2 Answers
The operation switch for the rear wiper of this car is located on the right side of the driver's steering wheel. Follow the instructions to toggle the switch to turn on the wiper: 'off' means off, 'low' means low speed, and 'high' means high speed. Pushing inward activates the front wiper, while pulling outward activates the rear wiper. Normally, lifting the lever forward activates the front wiper, and pushing the lever in the opposite direction activates the rear wiper.
As an Audi A3 owner, I also encountered the issue of the rear wiper not stopping before, which was quite confusing at first. It could be due to a stuck switch, a damaged wiper relay, or a short circuit in the wiring. I suggest first trying to turn off the rear wiper switch. If it won't turn off, check the relevant fuse in the fuse box to see if it's blown and needs replacement. Additionally, disconnecting the battery negative terminal for a few minutes and then reconnecting it can reset the system and resolve temporary faults. If it still doesn't work, you'll need to visit a repair shop to diagnose whether there's a software error in the control module. The electronic system of the Audi A3 is quite sensitive, and low battery voltage can also cause malfunctions, so maintaining battery health can reduce such issues. In short, it's fine to check simple components yourself, but for complex faults, it's safer to seek professional help. Don't overlook such small issues as they can affect driving safety.
