If you have the rain sensing wipers, and the stalk is in the first setting, they'll stop/slow down when you come to a stop and then kick back up again while you're moving. Working as intended.

If you have the stalk in position 2 or 3 (slow/fast) and they stop when you stop, that's a weird *** problem to have.

Battery was fine . Taken it to the local dealer it seems I need a new bonnet catch.The switch there works as a safety to shut the wiper off if bonnet is open
