Wipers randomly turn on

[TJ Davis]

Anyone else have their windshield wipers randomly swipe with no moisture? Ours did it about 6 times in a 12 mile trip. Just one swipe each time.

Mine do when I use TACC. TACC automatically turns the wipers to Auto and then the windshield wipers may turn on all by themselves even when it is not raining

I just saw this issue for the first time on a recent road trip from Milwaukee to Minneapolis and back. I attributed it to the huge amount of bug spatters on the windshield confusing the sensor. Just a single swipe, randomly. Haven't seen it before or since.

I have found the errant wipes happen when driving in and out of shade on a sunny day, like on a tree lined road. Happens on mine almost all the time. Can't use FSD beta unless I am willing to put up with wipers constantly running on a dry windshield.

Mine started this on the latest FSD Beta 10.69.2.2. It gets triggered by overhead street lights on FSD or standard AP. Really bothersome on my 4600 cross-country trip. I’ve driven this several times and this has never been a problem. Wearing out the wipers.

So frustrating. My 2020 Model Y just started turning on the wipers on a perfectly dry windshield. But the weird thing is that I had it on manual. When I looked at the controls, it was on automatic without me choosing it. However, no matter how hard I tried, it would not let me put it back into manual. After about 5 minutes, it went to manual on its own. But then, it would cycle back into on every 5-10 minutes. WTF happened with this latest update.

If you use autopilot the wipers will revert to auto.

Mine randomly turns on as well. Hot sunny day not a drop of water on the windshield and they turn on.

Yes my 21 Y wipers run a lot when they shouldn't. Has been going on for several weeks.

My Y is 2 ½ years old and I have been having trouble with the wipers coming on when they shouldn't for a long time. I usually cannot turn them off. I can change speeds but not off. Occasionally they will turn off or if I leave on auto, sometimes they quit. This is a major pain and dangerous when trying to get them to work as they should. Mine will come on when driving through the shade of a tree as well as other times. I figured they would get fixed on a computer update. Guess not.
