Rear Wiper comes on when I indicate!!

As above, When I indicate and turn my rear wiper comes on. Although not a major problem it is annoying and I would like to sort before I go to Sweden. Have never done more than wire in a stereo so any advice in baby language please.

Hi!
   I suggest to check all ground connections
near rear lights and wiper. There are some
of it in carrier.

Regards!

As above check all ground/earth connections. Basically all connections to the body work around the lights and wiper. Probably just want cleaning up with some emery paper and WD40.

You need to take off the covers that the wiper stalks go into, the screws are underneath. You should then be able to see all the switches and connectors.

Use this stuff to clean contacts free of oxidisation.

Watch for overspray, it melts certain plastics.

I have solved 800 problems on my car with this stuff.

Another thing you could try is remove steering wheel and remove the stalks, inside the surround that goes over the coloum are copper brass connectors, possibly one of these could have snapped, easy repair.
I had one of these break on the c reg mk2, when i selected front wipers all wipers would go and visa versa, i replaced the little piece and no problems, but do as others mentioned above first and check for ground connects before removing wheel.
Hope this helps fella
