Bounder: Windshield wipers on without being switched on

[aquestrian]

We have a 2008 Bounder 38P. Its on a workhorse platform. Twice now, the wipers had either stayed on after use and turned off, and today when I went to fill the gas, when I started the engine they came on with the selector in the off position. I couldn't get them to turn off, even when I tried turning them on and off, trying the washer position.

I thought I remembered seeing something about this when I was looking for some other information. Since its been parked, we have had some days it rained. Could just raining cause a problem or dampness? I open the front engine access and the wires and area under the dash up there did feel damp.

Anyone else experience this and what did you do, other than pay a dealer to look?

I have seen dozens of posts in the different sections of the forum about this issue. Here are a few previous threads you might check out... https://www.google.com/search?q=wipe...earch=irv2.com

thanks, I was sure I saw something before with a bounder doing the same, but wasn't looking for that problem before

I'm never sure whether this type of problem is "chassis" or "house" related, but you might check the Workhorse section to see if anyone has had a similar problem.

I think Chevy has this problem. I've got a 2008 Chevy Colorado, the wipers will make a swipe sometimes. It's not on any kind of "interval" just any random time they want. I had an Isuzu Hombre that would do the same thing. They finally quit working all together.
