Washer pump

[garth]

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem that i seem to be encountering and if there are any things that is could be.
the problem is that every so often the washer pump whirs into life and causes the windscreen wipers to come on that they would but i have not pulled the stalk, i was thinking this could be a bad earth and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to fix it

Could be the stalk itself at fault.

I had problems with a stalk,took it off and cleaned every contact point I could see with emery paper and job done.
