Yeah, I can understand how a faulty ground can cause lighting failures, but I'm still puzzling over the wiper thing. When my daughter's car was doing that, I pulled the covers off the steering assembly, and inspected all the wiring to the wiper and combo switches, and it all looked factory new.

I'm still working on the 'moved the wires around, solved the problem' theory, that the stock wiring harness had the wires for the headlight wipers, and that a short to positive occured inside the harness. Just a guess, but when I moved the wires around, the problem went away.

Funny you should mention the highbeam bulb out. My daughter's car had both out - but the wiper issue went away before I replaced them.
