Rear Wiper Triggering at Start Up

[anotherrunner83]

I seem to have an odd little bug happening with my truck. Whenever the truck is started after it ha sat for a few hours, the rear wiper will cycle once. EVERY TIME! Anyone have any ideas? It's an 08 V8.

That's a feature of the design.

First good cold snap will prove it.

seriously? it has been a bit sluggish on those cooler mornings. only 5 years on my original battery? could have sworn my mom got 7 or 8 on hers.

really though, did they design that in or am i just being gullible here?

"Designed-in"
yes, so common that it must be due to the design

but not on purpose probably
