: Why do windshield wipers trigger a cycle when switched off?

218 views

It seems that even when wipers are turned off, they always cycle one more time at the moment of switching them off. The make or model of the car does not seem to matter.

Ha! I don’t know, but this definitely happens. If I’m driving in mist or fog, and only want 1 wiper swipe, I’ll press the lever *down* (from the initial neutral starting position) for 1 quick wip-wap. I believe it’s the instance of pressing the lever down into this position, actually *past* the neutral ‘off’ position, that makes them wip-wap one time.
