wipers start to operate along with headlight on

[reedreed]

I noticed a strange feature: windscreen and headlight wipers start to operate along with headlight on. They do 8 strokes and stop after.
Is it normal or something wrong?

Stalk or relay?

Maybe a short circuit or some mess in wiring.

That’s the safety feature built into the wiper system that checks if your wiper arm will fly off at night in the rain before you get going
