You are using your turn signals and the wipers spray, not just a quick squirt but like a 3-10 second blast. The first couple of times I just thought that I may have pushed in a little. But after paying attention, I know that when I used the turn signal, I in no way pushed in. Is this a wiring issue? Has anyone else experience this?

It might be possible two frayed wires are making a connection together somewhere which is making the relay hot.

I had a similar problem when I would turn my steering wheel (no joke) in my '99 v6. My damn horn would honk in a pattern with a lot of noise when going over bumps or in a certain RPM range where there was a vibration running through the car. Sucked!

It's most definately a wiring issue but might require some investigation.

You may need to to clean or replace the multi function switch, which is in the stearing columb. Not hard to do and coasts about $90 @ your local dealer.

I have the same problem, but it only happens once and awhile. Doesn't happen enough for me to worry about it right now, when it happens, I pull out on the end of the blinker switch, I am sure it is just like explained above.

Warranty Item?

If it is a faulty switch, it's going to be fun to get the dealer to change it. Look at the trouble I had with the tremec 3650 grind and I could reproduce it. This one is random and the dealer will never see it on their own.

Yep, premature squirting - happens to the best of us sooner or later.
(Better than having wipers that don't come up at all)
LOL

That was the point to get people to read it. Seriously, how do you convince a dealer when it is random?
