Often times a good first step for most of these electrical/electronic gremlins is to reset the whole system by disconnecting the battery for a while. Leave it disconnected for 10 to 20 minutes so the whole system discharges and then hook your battery back up.

Not very specific to your problem I know, but you'd be surprised what a good old fashioned hard reset will fix when it comes to electronics. Others will chime in with more specific information I'm sure, but I've got a soft top and manual everything so I'm not that guy.

Good luck.

Default disconnecting battery

I just try to reset vehicle, disconnect battery, wait 20 min, and when I connect battery terminal, horn sound once, but everything is same, I can lock doors, but I can not unlock, and rear wiper is still working (without ignition on ...).

The battery reset deal was worth a shot. Maybe an alarm module issue, though I don't see specifically how that would effect the rear windshield wiper. If it is some sort of oem alarm fault the red light above the temp gauge should be doing something, just so you're aware.

I got nothing else for ya man, hopefully someone else has had a similar problem and has a fix for ya. If not then it's off to the dealer when you have time, hopefully under warranty.
