Wipers work intermittently on their own

My 2024 2500 HD started having the wipers intermittently turn on for 2-3 wipes when I use the turn signal.  Sometimes they will just turn on by themselves for 2-3 wipes while driving.  This is all intermittent and difficult to reproduce.  Obviously, there is some type of short in the lever controlling the turn signal and wipers.  Has anyone else had similar issues and what was the remedy?  Thanks

I tried turning off the Rain Sensing wiper feature that was mentioned in the link thread above but it happened again about 10 minutes after so I turned it back on.

After using my wipers last weekend, it has temporarily stopped. 

I'm sure there is some type of electrical issue in the turn signal lever, but am reluctant to take to the dealer if it is not repeatable.

I finally got a video of it happening and am taking it to the dealer next week.

I will give an update afterwards.

Would love to know what if anything they come up with. I'm also not a fan of bringing the truck in for transient issues. My wipers have greatly reduced turning on when I hit the turn signals, but it still does it once in a blue moon.

I had this exact thing happen. I took it to the dealer and the tech thought I was using the blinker wrong and was hitting the wiper button when using the signal. During the test drive, the wiper randomly activated twice on him. He replaced the blinker stalk. I’ve had my truck back since the 16th and haven’t had a reoccurrence since.

I just got my truck back from the dealer.  They confirmed a fault in the turn signal and replaced the blinker stalk.

Glad the got it fixed for you. They did the same for my truck. It’s nice not having the random wiper activation.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
