This may be a little off subject but I had a remote start installed on my car and I am wondering what would happen if I had the rain sensing wipers on when I left the car for the evening and then it snowed at night. If I remote started the car, would the wipers go on and burn out the WW motor? I bought the remote start specifically for snowy/icy conditions but if I may have to keep them off so I don't have a problem.
Thanks

Works for me...but sometimes it is wiping on almost dry glass....it is being tripped by by something...a tiny drop.

turn off the rain sensing wiper before you leave the car for the night. set it to "off" instead of 'auto'

The auto wiper doesnt work well with ice on the windshield.
