Rear wiper problem on a Citroen

when I unlock my C4 the rear wiper activates, this also happens when the boot or doors are opened it can also happen when I am driving. If the wiper stops half way up the rear window the wiper will not work on its own if I am driving, but if it settles in the rest position it will operate all by itself, can you help
