- They're a Pontiac Sunbird, GMC van, and a Buick (model - don't know).
- These are all several years old, and all have similar problems with
- the wipers going on at random times. One the Sunbird, when you put
- on a turn signal, the wipers click on. One the Buick, it when a bump
- is hit, and they turn on for just one cycle. The GMC's wipers just
- go on at completely random times, and stay on for different lengths
- of time, each time.
-
- These are owned by two separate people. I heard about the first one
- and laughed. Then a guy I work with mentioned the two he owns and I
- thought that this might be fairly common. It's obviously a short some-
- where, and I'm not doing the the work, so nothing has been ruled out.
- I was just wondering if anyone else had come across this in the past
- and had an idea for a solution. Also, I'm curious just how many people
- who have/had GM's also had this problem. Thanks in advance.
