Hi all-
Got a weird problem that came out of nowhere. When turning on the rear wipers the cluster turns off then back on and the wipers bounce slowly through a whole cycle like the power to them is rapidly being turned on and off. Also when trying to use the front washer the rear wipers come on and do the same thing, and the washer pump doesn't come on. The front wipers were also acting up as they wouldn't turn on except at the highest setting and even then they were at their slowly. I since replaced the whole wiper switch and got the same result, although after some poking around the front wipers are now working normally.
Today I disconnected the washer pump motor and the rear wipers didnt come on as before. Then i pulled fuse 16 for the rear wipers and they still came on! This time they seemed to move much more normally than before, although the cluster still shuts off then back on. The radio/accessory outlet also will stutter while the cluster is turning on and off. Also the rear wipers wouldn't shut off until I put the fuse back in.
With this really weird issue, I'm kind of thinking it's the TIPM, although it's not having any other issues. Anything else I can try short of the TIPM?
