When I start my car the wipers make one sweep across the windshield. Is that normal?

For some people, yes.   Wink

Most common causes are failed capacitors in the wiper delay module, or a bad switch in the column.

Your only limitations are set from within, by a lack of vision.  But to have vision alone leaves the process idle.  Ergo, without action your thoughts are worthless.
