Unlocking my vehicle the Horn and Wipers automatically turn on??

Asked by SDVorster Jun 01, 2018 at 03:19 AM about the 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hopefully I can get some direction on this forum,

I currently have a Jeep Wrangler, 2008 model.

Since this morning if I unlock the car the wipers and horn turns on
automatically?? The only way I can get it to stop is to start the car and play
with the wipers until it stops?!?

Any idea what may cause this and where I should start my investigation?

Thanks in advance!

There is an issue with the two twisted wires that make up your interior CANBUS. Most likely a small section if wire is rubbed through and occasionally shorting to ground which introduces garbage signals in the network that confuse the modules. Take a look at this video that shows a similar issue on a Dodge Grand Caravan. https://youtu.be/Q0gTP2zerV4

Did anyone find the exact answer for this? I just had the same thing happen to me on my '08 wrangler JKU.
