Check fuses. Replace the turn signal switch for the head lights. If the wiper fuse is good, Replace the turn signal switch first, then go after the wiper motor. Both run threw the turn signal switch.

Sounds like your turn signal/wiper switch on the side of your steering column is having problems. Like you said, it could very well be your computer. There is no way to reset the computer without the right software tools. I would try wiggling the switch to see if you can get it to work momentarily, if they work for a split second, then you know your switch is bad.

has to be replaced - bad switch or electrical short
Either way unless you are good with electrical gadgets mechanic is the way, have a trusted one?
It should not be too expansive

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but are you using the turn signal properly? The turn signals are on the left of the steering wheel and wiper controls are on the right side of the steering wheel on you car.

I think your combination switch is malfunctioning. The switches that control both the wipers and the
turn signals are built into the combination switch. And the headlight controls too on some cars.

Your car may have a switch that controls the wipers and the turn signals, but not the headlights.

But whether you have the type that controls wipers/turn signals/headlights or just turn signals/wipers Im not sure, you didnt mention the specific year and model. But you should replace the switch that controls your wipers/signals. They are expensive sometimes, especially if you have the combo switch that controls wipers, headlights and turn signals. But you can find one at a slavage yard for a lot less money than new.


But you should put the year/model of your car when you post a problem youre having. That makes it more likely that someone can help.

to correct this you must replace the mulitfunction switch.
