Not sure what you mean - aren't these 2 statements meaning the same?
Regardless, Lexia will probably have a code for this and that is what we will need - as you have seen, replacing the comms unit may have been in vain, as obviously not the issue - could be the rain sensor needs replacing - engine fuse box etc, etc., so Lexia is really needed before proceeding further.

Do the wipers work for a short time after the engine is turned off (until the BSI shuts it all down >?)

Thanks for reply

Wiper blades working even engine is off

Went driving some times wiper blades turn on automatically.

Car not driven for 1 or 2 days.
Once the the drive door is open the wiper turn on automatically.

Rain sensor is disabled.

You really do need to get it on a Lexia - guessing is just going to cost more in parts that may not need to be replaced.

When you stop the car and get out the wipers continue working> They must stop at some point after that. Is it when you lock the car? Is it after a certain time? Do they continue until you disconnect the battery.

Has the car been like this all the time you have had it? If not, did it start after some event such as driving through a flooded road or being involved in a road accident?

But, as Marc says, you need to get the car read, preferably using Lexia/Diagbox.

Put this into Google: 6500 CK is the part - plenty coming up, but not cheap.

I'd be interested in what the actual fault is on that, is it something that can be seen?
