Well we have not had any rain and I did wash the car now for three days, I tried the wipers yesterday and today and so far so good, they come on thru all the different cycles and speeds and they go down ok and when I turn them off , I wait 8 minutes with the car running and they don't come back on, I just wonder if they next time I am in heavy rain, which I don't normally drive this car in but sometimes you get stuck are they going to work or will they do I fast one on me because of water? I guess only time will tell. Thanks

Same problem on my 2002 Corvette with w/s wipers intermittently coming on. Initially, it occurred with I was pressing a driver information center button and was accidently brush the w/s control arm with my arm. The wipers would cycle 2-3 times and then park. Eventually, they simply came on one day (didn't brush the control arm) and they wouldn't go off. Dealership replaced the w/s control arm due to an internal short and that fixed the problem.
