    So I picked up my 98 F355 Spider today and while driving home I came across an interesting issue, my wipers would intermittently start when in the off wiper position. The first time it started was when I broke hard. I also noticed that I can not activate my sports suspension after this either. I drove about 100 miles home with the wipers going (very slow intermittent) I have done some digging and I haven't found any other thread with this issue, has anyone else come across this?

    Hey Craig, it's Matthew, we spoke a week or two ago about the red F355 F1 and the yellow F355 you have. I will probably give you a ring tomorrow.

    Fast Cars is a good shop.
    They'll run down your electrical problem.
    Get Craig to tell you about our local gatherings.

    Disconnect battery for 15 minuts, reconnect and your problem should be solved.

    In case you don't know, there is a battery shut off switch, see the manual for exact location (under front bonnet)

    Congratulations on the F355. I'm sure the issue you're facing won't be a difficult one to fix.
