Wiper gremlins

[Boolaroo]

I have lived with a problem in my wipers for over a year now which I have been unable to solve.

I won't confuse you more than I will with the different scenarios that occurred with this but over time I have narrowed it down to a few specifics.

It started in a moment in far north Queensland and my wipers started without switching and the washers also and they pumped until empty when I disconnected the washer pump.

Believe it or not I disconnected every fuse and relay connected with the wipers (as far as they were labelled) and they wouldn't stop. I drove to othe farm where i was heading and the friend there was an auto electrician and he couldn't work it out even with his network of friends.

Trying the fuses in the cabin only produced further odd actions.

I ended up removing the wipers and they just kept rotating with out the blades.

Back down here in NSW after trying different things I found of the 2 white plugs on the stalk if I removed the smaller plug that would stop the intermittent function which eliminates the gremlin until I plug it back in. However I cannot hook up the washer pump as when it triggers it will not stop for anything till disconnected.

I have the small plug half out with the shroud off and push it in when it rains but its a cow.

 

Strangest thing of all, wait for it...... I confirmed after many roundabouts that it only triggers on right hand turns and will do the normal six swipes as in the washer function then rest till the next right hand turn! I kid you not..

Due to a seat belt error light I had the clock spring replaced and I bought a new stalk as part of my fault finding. Its so strange I'm wondering if another auto electrician will go through all the same procedures to find out what I know.

Can anyone shed any light on this problem or do these strange things only happen to me?
