Wipers Keep Going When Engine Is Turn Off?

[Dremark]

I have a C5 Tourer 2.0 from 2012.

 

My wipers on the windshield don't stop when the engine is turned off, but keep going.

I have tried to disable the electricity circuit by disconnect the negative wire from the battery, but when I'm connecting the wire again, the wiper keep going on.

Is there anyone there have a suggestion for a solution?

 

Kind regards and a merry christmas to you all.

 I would try a BSI reset first, then a switch cleaner in the stalk switch.

The 2008 on C5 is known for the front wipers failing since water can get in to the motor electrics so it could be something to do with this. This is noted on the C5 Common Problems topic with links to posts on this.

I tried to reset the BSI by following this instruction (from bentasker.co.uk) and it solved the problem.

 

Thank you for your response and happy new year.

Citroen C5: BSI Reset Parent Category: Published: Friday, 13 June 2014 01:46 Category: Author: 

The Body control unit (BSI) on Citroens (and Peugeots) sometimes goes batshit-insane and switches things off for no other apparent reason than it felt like it.

A reset is usually enough to resolve, but the steps need to be followed almost exactly, and the car should be thoroughly checked afterwards to make sure everything is working. 

This documentation details how to perform the reset

 

To perform the reset;

1. Put the drivers window down and lift the bonnet (leave the key in the ignition)
2. Ensure all equipment (stereo etc) is switched off
3. Ensure all doors are closed and reach through the window to remove the key from the ignition
4. Wait 3 minutes
5. Disconnect the battery and then wait 15 seconds
6. Reconnect the battery and wait 10 seconds (Do not open any doors)
7. Switch on the ignition (but don't start the engine) and check that all tests pass
8. Hold the lock button on the key down for 10 seconds
9. Remove the key, open the drivers door, close it and check the central locking works (I had to hold the lock button down for another 10 seconds at this point)
10. Start the engine and complete the systems check

Note: When you put the drivers window up, it won't automatically go all the way up. Make sure you close it all the way before putting it down, otherwise the automatic close won't close it all the way until you next turn the ignition on and off
