wiper vibration felt through brake pedal

Hey guys, i've been reading this forums for a few years now and love it. I dont post many questions because i usually find the answers to my question from searching the forum. but i have one issue that i cant figure out....

when i use my wipers, i can feel a clicking thump every time the wipers go back and forth when my feet is on the brake pedal. i can only feel it on the brake pedal and nothing else. I'm not sure if this is just normal and everyone else expereriences it also. I just find it strange that the wipers and motors can have some kind of connection to my brake pedal. If this is normal then no problem, if not then i will take it to the dealer. I still have my CPO warranty on the car.

Thanks for any and all of your feedback.

Your brakes are actuated by an electrical signal from your brake pedal to the SBC pump. Since the brake pedal is electric, not hydraulic, it explains the connection. I don't know if your symptoms are normal, but I would definitely have the service department check it out. Good thing you have the CPO warranty.
