Woke this morning with my car (2006 Vantage) on my friends drive and the wipers were going, car was locked ignition was not on, wipers were turned off. As soon as I unlocked the car the wipers stopped. Locked the car again then about 20 mins later they started again. I am expecting some kind of water ingress playing with the electrics, it was wet last night and she was out in it, most of the time she is in a garage. Has anyone else had this, or heard of this happening?

'Electrical system service urgent' so she is on a low loader going back to the dealer for a checkup!

I have an '07 v8v which had exactly this problem. Was diagnosed as water in the fuse box. Dealer sorted quickly and no problems since, touch wood.
