Windshield wipers won t turn off - Z3 BMW Cars & Trucks

hi David.
this is all i could find out.
The fuse is the safety device that breaks the electric circuit if it exceeds the safe level. If your fuse blows then there will be no way to stop the electricity from reaching the windshield wipers. This will cause your wipers to constantly keep going. ... You can easily tighten it and the wiper problem should be resolved.26 Feb 2013

Might need to replace the switch

Sometimes disconnecting the battery does more damage then you want it might have trip a fuse or relay check those if thats not it, maybe wiper motor or transmission went out.

Turn wipers to off then turn the car off. We have the same problem in our 1986 Pontiac parisienne brougham

Hi,
The 'stalk' that controls all these functions is faulty. Your truck SHOULD still be under warranty...Take it in.

GL,

Check the relay relay maybe latched on. See if there is an identical relay in the box and swap them if problem goes away replace relay.

The WS wipers in this truck are controlled by a central module that is called the GEM, this module can be scanned to find the fault wirththe wipers, it could be the GEM that is defective or the wiper motor is defective. It also controls the WS washers do they work?

There are only to things which could cause this.The wiper motor cover or the switch itself.Which is part of the multi-function switch.The cover is cheaper.It is located under the air inlet grill.The cover is on the wiper motor itself.There is a circuit board on here that causes this problem.It is the part you need to replace.Hope this helps.Good luck.

• Has a two-speed, permanent magnet, three brush electric windshield wiper motor .
• The windshield wiper motor has a brush rigging that permits selection of low or high speed.
• When the turn signal and windshield wiper switch is in the LO position, the common brush and the blue/orange wire brush are used, and the windshield wiper motor operates at low speed.
• When the turn signal and windshield wiper switch is in the HI position, the common brush and the white wire brush are used.
• In HI position, electric current will bypass a portion of the armature winding causing the windshield wiper motor to operate faster.
• When the turn signal and windshield wiper switch is moved to the OFF position, the windshield wiper motor will continue at low speed until the park switch outer contacts open.
• When the park switch contacts open, the windshield wiper motor stops in the park position.

Interval
When the turn signal and windshield wiper switch is in the interval position:

• The wipers make single wipes separated by pauses.
• The rotary switch is on the end of turn signal and windshield wiper switch .
• The length of the pause can be set from approximately 1 to 17 seconds.
• Length of pause decreases as the rotary switch is rotated away from off.
• Length of pause increases as the rotary switch is rotated toward off.

While in the interval wiper mode:

• It is normal to hear a slight click at the beginning of each on/pause cycle. NOTE: When using interval wipers, the first wipe may not occur until after a pause of up to 17 seconds.
