Defect

The routing of the electrical wiring inside the instrument panel is inadequate, causing the wiper linkage to contact and interfere with the wiring during wiper operation. Continued use in this condition damages the wiring. In the worst case, warning lamps may illuminate falsely, or the starter may malfunction and burn out, preventing the engine from starting.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, install additional band clips to secure adequate clearance between the wiring and wiper linkage. If the harness is already damaged, perform the necessary repair.
