2003 Cadilac CTS Short in wire for wipers Sign In

How to fix a short in the wire in steering column. When you hit a bump the wipers will come on until you hit a bump again. Doesn't do this everyday, just started last week. Is this something that should be taken to a expert mechanic our something that someone with very little experience could handle?

How did you determine it was a short in the steering column?

Just assuming, because my superduty p/u developed a short in the steering column for the tow/haul switch which is the same setup as the wiper control

Doubt it's a short or would probably blow a fuse. More likely connection or poor ground at the motor, the motor itself or a bunch of possibilities. Because something happened to a totally different vehicle doesn't mean squat.

Get it diagnosed and decide if you want to take it on or not. My guess if source was in the column just bumping the steering wheel would react as well so doubt the trouble is wires there,
