Wipers Going Crazy... while air is on

Hello, new to the forum! My 2015 Fit started doing a funny thing... that is driving me crazy!!! My wipers have a mind of their own. They are in off position, and randomly shoot across my windshield, often times stopping midway and in my line of sight. I have noticed this occurs more often when the air is on and when my head lifts are one. I have also noticed that the driver's side headlight dims when the wipers move.

I am not very knowledgeable in cars, but I'd like to see if it's an easy fix before taking in to someone that will likely charge me a lot more than it's worth!


Thank you in advance for your help!

Is it still within its 3 year, 36K warranty? If so, I'd go to a dealer.

Unfortunately, it is not under warranty.

Salvage title? Sounds like an electrical glitch. Battery low? Lights should not noticeably change on that sort of load.

I think the car needs an exorcist. You probably bought a car that was flooded with major electrical issues.
