2003 Acura TL 274k

Started yesterday:
wipers work fine, but will not turn off unless engine off.
When engine starts, wipers will remain off, but once turned on will not turn off until engine off.

The only thing that happened out of the ordinary yesterday was Acura was used to jump start another car in light rain - hood up total time 3 minutes max.

Looked around - some say bad wiper relay??

THANKS

 

check relay

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks, but can't find the damn thing - checked under hood fuse boxes, both sides interior fuse boxes, every relay for everything else but wiper.

I did the "2003 Acura TL Wiper Relay Location" google search a long time ago

All bullshit - the Acurazine question was asked in 2007 with no answer:
Where is 2nd gen Wiper Relay located????
i've looked on the main fuse box under the hood and it isn't located there....

there are also two relay boxes in the engine bay with 3 to 4 relays....could one of those be it?

if so which one? if there is a diagram or anyone has a service manual could you please post a picture of it....i've searched extensively!

Thanks

So - Can anybody out there tell me where the relay is located??

 

Hmmmmm.....
Maybe Part #21
CONTROL UNIT (ENGINE ROOM) for 2003 Acura TL

 

This one is labelled as intermittent wiper relay...

I would download a copy of the service manual (posted elsewhere on the forum). There is a section with test procedures for the wipers.

Thanks
This USED to be a forum for non-mechanics to fix problems themselves without taking it into the shop and get charged a shitload of bucks
I did a 3x3 tranny flush and even changed the transmission filter with help from you
What's with the problem with just saying WHERE THE FUCKING WIPER RELAY IS AND HOW TO CHANGE IT???
And no, I could not find the shop manual elsewhere on the forum, so that means either I'm too stupid to be here or I'm in the wrong forum.
So, it's off to the shop to have my wipers fixed.
