Hi All,

I have a MB 190e 2.3, 1988. Whenever it is humid (Rain for a few days, when
I go to the carwash...) The wiper turns on as soon as I turn on the
headlights, even with the wiper switch set to off. After a few days of heat,
the problem stops until it gets humid again.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Karle

You need a new combi switch. Look like a broken isolation between wiper
and headlight switch cables.

The combi switch is your turn signal/ wiper/ highbeam lowbeam switch on the
steering column.

Should be part number 201 545 25 24 but that depends on your vin number.
