Hi all,When I turned my ignition on tonight the wipers and washers came straight on and wouldn't turn off.After several ignition on/offs they went off and now work as normal.It has been very hot outside today and I was wondering if this could have affected something(relay etc)Has anyone else had this happen to their car or any ideas what could have caused it.Cheers Alan.By the way the car is a 1995 XJ6 3.2 Sport.

Guess I'll never know.

Are they rain sensing wipers?

I don't think so.Its just the washers that come on now not the wipers.

Update.I have had to remove wiper fuse and washer fuse as they are both coming on at will.Any ideas what could case this problem.When they don't come on on their own the wiper /wash controls work as they should.Thanks Alan.

The relays have probably failed. Quite a common issue. They are water proof relays located behind the headlamp on the LH side. Replace these two and that should rectify it.
