Angry Rear Washer Sprayer / defroster electrical issues

HI!

I have a 2014 Captiva Sport LT.

Currently my rear wiper motor, sprayer, and control is acting up:

- when i auto start, the rear wiper spray non stop
- Pushing the rear defroster activates the sprayer
- Holding down the rear washer button to clean the window, sprayer and wiper motor is inconsistent and jerky.

What i have tried

- Pulled all the hatch panels off and inspected wiring looms (no obvious fraying observed in pinch points)
- Disconnected plugs and reconnected them (this seemed to have solved the problem for about 1 week, problem has returned)


I do have a BCM code pulled from a reader but wasn't sure if there were any troubleshooting i can perform before throwing in the towel with that specific nightmare. The BCM code has been stored LONG before this symptom started.

If disconnecting and reconnecting solved your problem for a while then why not try using contact cleaner on the connections?
