Problem Reports

Erratic wipers, won't go back to starting position.

intermittent wiper mode either runs continually or won't run at all. also sporadically stop mid window

When using wipers, they continue operating for several minutes after turning off, then park in the middle of the windshield. Zimbrick honda said the wiper casing is cracked??? and the moter will need to be replaced. Labor alone will be over $100.00. This is NUTS!

wipers start as soon as you start car and won,t shut off

Intermintent mode causes the wipers to continue and park at incorrect locations. Switching to others the wipers work as normal but again when turning off will keep moving and eventually stop mid-windshield

Wipers won't always turn off when the wiper switch is in the "Off" position. When they finally do turn off, they park themselves in random positions (not at the bottom). The intermitten control does not control the wiper speed, but the "Lo" and "High" settings do work properly.

Wiper intermitent mode wipes a random number of times and doesn't stop at the bottom as normal.

Wipers do not shut off, do not park at bottom, run at full or high speed only.

I have a 95 Civic EX 2 door coupe. My intermittent wipers will not work. I believe they stopped working about a year ago (2010).

I checked fuse. I opened the switch and cleaned the contacts and changed out switch. I tested contacts in switch per Honda service manual I found online. I think switch is ok. I am going to look at the 201 and 401 ground next to see if that is it (as service manual says). I might also try messing with the motor and maybe change out to a good one to see if that fixes it. The service also says to test the integrated control unit (ICU) which has an intermittent wiper relay system inside. The ICU plugs in at the fuse panel. I will report back if I figure it out.

The windshield wipers wont stop when I turn them off or they speed up with put on slowest mode.

Windshield Wipers are doing the same as all the others posted on here. It needs to be recalled and fixed. Its obviously a problem.

during any rain or heavy snow wipers go crazy and do not function normally on intermittent.

The wipers won't stop imediately when turned off and when they do, they stop in the middle of the windshield or at random positions.

My problem is exactly as reported by others. The windshield wipers will not turn off when you turn them off, and then will eventually stop in random positions on the window, often blocking view, which is obviously a safety concern. I don't understand why this isn't a recall?

Wipers won't park in the correct spot when weather is cold and continue to run after being shut off. This really sucks when it's misting and they keep running when the windshield is dry and smears all over. Will never buy another honda. Have had way to many issues with this car. Hyundai is the new and better "H".

The windshield wipers won't park when turned off or they just wont turn off until I turn the car off.

Wipers will not stop in the correct position when shut off all the time. They will also continue wiping even when they are on the slow or off position. Just started doing this at about 95,000 miles.

The wipers won't park properly. The intermittent setting will randomly start and stop.

Same problem -- put wipers to stop position, they continue operating then stop in middle of windhsield.

The wipers are very sporatic, when they are on intermittent they run continuously at times and then won't shut off when you turn them off? Sometimes when they do go off they do not go all the way down.

Wipers stop in the middle of windshield when in the low position.

Wipers do not park in the correct position. Intermittent mode works sometimes, but most of the time runs continuously. Wipers do not stop immediately after turned off.

Wipers don't shut off from intermittent, low, or high speeds, and don't return to off position when they do stop.

Wipers wont stop when turned off
