Had an interesting experience. Twice now I've used my windshield wipers during a heavy rain and they wouldn't turn off afterwards. Had to disconnect the power under the frony cowling. The first time when I got home I reconnected the power the wipers were OK. This time I figured maybe water was getting into the connector. When I looked into the male end of the connector block I could see some greenish corrosion of the brass connection blades. I scraped it out and wiped out the area with alcohol on a Q-tip. Seems to have fixed the problem. If anyone has a similar problem, the connector is up under the down slope for the dash, just above the wiper drive motor. It is accessed from the ouside with the "hood" up.
Interesting,
I have had a couple occasions now that If I have put my wipers on anything above intermittent and leave them on for awhile, then they stick, they will turn themselves off if I leave the wiper switch in the off position after about 20 - 30 minutes. All the sudden they will start to slow down, and gradually get slower until they are stopped.
It will be harder for me to test because it only seems to happen after an hour+ of being on.
