2009 Honda Pilot 165k miles. Few months ago helped jump a car. Ever since, wipers have gone on and off whenever. Sometimes a turn signal too. Shop changed out wiper switch. One hour later, wipers went on. They are on at the highest speed every time the car is started. Where else to look? What else to do?

My guess (and that’s all it is) is that a stray voltage surge during the jump start messed up the body control module.

I would have suggested that it’s something like a blown spot on a motherboard. But I knew that wouldn’t be the name. BCM is a better title! Thanks for the tip.
