Default My Car Has Gremlins...

A funny thing happened today while I was waiting at a gas pump to fill up. My windshield wipers just started going on their own... or at least I think they did. Pretty weird! I hope my car doesn't have wiring harness problems. They can be difficult to trace.

Have any of you experienced this kind of stuff with your C5s?

That's the self cleaning option.... You must have turned it on.
Press Options, Fuel and then reset 10 times within 2 secs then hit Trip Trip - Option-Fuel-Trip.Reset

You probably just bumped the w/s stalk by mistake. Some are pretty sensitive and it just takes a light touch. Can happen when you are operating the DIC buttons.
