This basic model 2024 Silverado LT does not have the Rain Sense feature. My statement above is theorizing that the processor/computer on all these trucks still has an input on the CPU or control board even though the rain sense feature is not installed on this model. Does the optional signal pin need to be terminated or grounded when the rain sense feature is not installed. I have no idea how GM handles unused signal options on there control modules/processors. In my old school electronics experience, if an unused input is not used it should be grounded so that the input to the processor can't float above ground and send a false turn-on signal. Static charge build up or high voltage noise spikes from surrounding circuitry could jump onto to this open pin and cause a false trigger. I'm just theorizing.

Appreciate the commentary. The turn signal stalk does seem like the most likely culprit. The failure mode is not repeatable however. The wipers often come on with no interaction with the turn signal lever. Often the turn signal lever works as expected with no failure. It does fail most every time I use the vehicle to go somewhere. It just seems to be getting a false signal to the wiper control input going to the processor or circuit. It could be caused by: - the faulty wiper switch - bad ground, system noise - loose wire or contact to the wiper switch - input to/from the rain sense control line (this truck does not have this option) is floating or not terminated properly - software signal is telling the wipers to come on, however I can get them to go back off by cycling the wiper switch These are my best theories at this point.

Any chance the factory recall for software update N242435631 "serial data gateway module" will fix the erratic windshield wiper issue? This update is for the radio and serial communication firmware. Doesn't sound like this software update has been going very smooth by looking at the posted information on this recall. It is potentially causing more problems than it solves. I'm taking my time getting the update in hopes more bugs get worked out by the software engineers.

I'm pretty sure my 2024 Silverado 1500 LT does not have the "rain sense option". The wipers also come on occasionally when the blinker lever is engaged or wiggled. It's hard to nail down, intermittent. I thought it might be a software issue related to "rain sense" or maybe a wiring issue, maybe a signal input for "rain sense" needs to be grounded. Could be a bad switch assembly?

Wind shield wipers come on randomly in my new 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500. Sometime they swipe once or twice then shut off. sometime I have to cycle the wiper control switch to get them to turn off. Anyone else seen this issue? Frustrating!!
