Default Wipers and Flashpaq issue

My problem is that every single time I use the FLashpaq on my Jeep this is what happens:

I plug in the programmer to the obdII port
Once I get to the "turn ignition to on" prompt and I hit ok, the wipers immediately turn on and stay on during the entire programming sequence. This happens every single time I use the Flashpaq. I was thinking of pulling the wiper fuse to avoid this happening for future attempts but I'm not sure what else might be on that circuit.

Does this happen to anybody else here?

There were some posts on this subject a while back and it's been a while since I've seen them. I would open up a support case with Superchips if updating your Flashpaq doesn't take care of it.

I had this exact problem several months ago, finally took the jeep back to stock and drove it for a couple of miles, updated the tuner on line and then retuned the jeep to the SC 87 octane and have never had the problem again.

Thanks for the replies. I'll flash back to stock and update the tuner. I'll post back with the results. Thanks again.

Mine did the same. It is sporatic though. I just lift the wipers now, just in case.

Mine did it with the jumper wire mod in the hard top wiring harness to make the speakers louder. With the wire removed it worked fine again..
