2005 MaximaSometimes windshield wipers turn on and it happens a lot more in warm weather. Everything else in the electrical system seems to be working find. The dealer wants to change something called IPDM and charge several hundred dollars which I am not ready to do. Any other ideas?
Let me check that circuit. Yes I would have to agree with your dealer. The IPDM is located on the right side of the motor compartment under that plastic cover and another plastic lid with the fuse designations on the side When the wipers are running wild with rap on the IPDM with a Screwdriver Handle. Nissan Shop Manual I looked at it appears that the switch inside just talks to a CPU inside the IPDM and that device turns on wipers washers with relays for each speed. IPDM powers lots of other remotely operated electrical devices. IPDM is retangle shaped 1 1/4 inch thick with about 20 fuses and 15 black relays and 6 power wire sockets with lots of wires each. IPDM has two catches on each side and pull straight up. Get one out of a wrecked car but you must know that the trim level on the wreck is the same SL to SL SE to SE and LE TO LE. Things like cornering lamps HID headlights auto sunroof ECT. Different on different trim level cars. Good Luck
Just either unplug the sensor that tells the wipers when to come on or try to see if you can remove the fuse for it.
