Every so often my wiper comes on even though it is set to off, sometimes for
several sweeps.  I can sometimes stop it by turning the wiper to on then off
again.  Any ideas?

Thanks

I had this happen when I had a defective (worn out) tach amp. Apparanly
it's a bad ground.

Got any aftermarket electronic stuff installed?

What *might* work is pulling fuses one at a time and driving around
for a couple of days that way. Yes some things will be crippled but you
may be able to narrow down which branch of the electrical system is doing
this do you.

It could be bad signal stalk... so clicking off/on the signal stalk triggers
the wiper.
