These days many cars have the wipers, heated rear screen, central
locking, etc., all controlled by the same module. It has to remain
powered for the central locking and remote keyfob, so it is easy for it
to park the wipers, whether the ignition is on or off.


My car has CANbus control. But the ignition switch still isolates the
wipers. In some ways it might be nice to have the single wipe active with
the ignition off - for when you're in the car parked up on a rainy day.

But under those conditions it also switches the radio off after about 20
minutes. ;-) Even with the key in the ignition.
