    Windshield wipers on 2015 DE WILL NOT TURN OFF!

    Both my GF and I own a 2015 Mirage DE. They are basically identical except the color and the fact that my GF called me last night and again this morning about her windshield wipers not turning off. I have not seen the car yet but it seems that the wipers just run on slow but will not turn off.

    Has anyone seen this and is it an easy fix? What is the warranty on electrical issues like this? Both cars have right around 50,000 miles on them.

    I figure I can pull the connector to the wiper motor tomorrow as a short term workaround but this needs to be fixed pretty quickly.

    That sounds like manufacturers defect to me. I'd complain to Mitsubishi.

    I bought my 2014 Mirage new, and from my experience over the years, seems like most stuff you think is covered with warranty for 10 years, is in fact only covered for 5 years' new car warranty.

    So I'd be complaining soon with your Mirage being a 2015. Best of luck!

    The bumper-to-bumper warranty is 5 years/60,000 miles in the US. You're OK on miles...but what about the time.

    What date was the car purchased new? If it was less than 5 years ago, then it's still under warranty.

    The car is from 2016 or 2017 (I forget) so it is good on that. Either way this needs to get in sooner than later. I will call the dealer first thing tomorrow.

    OK, where is the fuse for the front wipers? I looked in the manual and they mention a fuse for the rear wipers but not the front. I wanted to pull the fuse until our appointment tomorrow so the wipers just don't keep running.

    EDIT: Found it. I must have been blind. It is fuse 20 under the dash.
